Equipment

  • 1 electric hand mixer or stand-up mixer (with the paddle attachment)

Ingredients

Tiramisu:

  • 4 large egg yolks cold straight from the fridge
  • ¼ cup heavy cream cold straight from the fridge
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cold straight from the fridge
  • 1/3 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup limoncello
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 24 lady fingers (from a 7-ounce package)

Lemon Topping:

  • 1/3 cup lemon curd
  • 1/4 lemon thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

To Make the Tiramisu:

  • You can use an electric hand mixer or you can use a stand-up mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, pinch of salt and mascarpone cheese.
  • Beat together for 1 minute on medium speed; scrape down the sides and then beat again for an additional minute, being sure NOT to over beat it. Stick to the two minutes total. Fold in 1/3 cup lemon curd. Set aside.
  • Grab your baking dish (I like to use a 8x8 baking dish but a variety of them will work). In a shallow dish, mix together the limoncello and water. Working one at a time, quickly dip each lady finger into the limoncello. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in the baking dish, side by side. I ended up filling up the empty spaces by snapping some of the lady fingers into different lengths.
  • Add a few scoops of the filling on top and spread into a ¼-inch thick layer. Add more filling if you need to.
  • Dip the remaining lady fingers in the limoncello and arrange them so there are no gaps. Add the remaining filling on top and spread it into a nice and neat final layer. Cover the dish with plastic wrap so it hits the surface of the tiramisu; transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.

To Garnish the Tiramisu:

  • To garnish, pour the 1/3 lemon curd on top, spread it into a thin layer. Garnish with lemon slices. Scoop and serve.
