Ingredients

Scale

Mascarpone Cheese

For this recipe, you will need 1 cup of mascarpone cheese. This rich and creamy cheese forms the base of the tiramisu and adds a smooth texture that balances the tartness of the lemons.

Heavy Cream

Use 1 cup of heavy cream to create the fluffy whipped topping. Whipping the heavy cream gives the dessert its lightness while adding richness that complements the mascarpone.

Fresh Lemons

You will need 2 large lemons for their zest and juice. The zest provides an aromatic kick, while the juice adds tanginess that brightens up the entire dish.

Sugar

A total of 3/4 cup of granulated sugar is required. This sweetener balances the acidity of the lemons and enhances overall flavor without overshadowing it.

Ladyfinger Cookies

Use about 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi). These sponge-like cookies soak up the lemon juice while maintaining their structure, providing essential layers in your tiramisu.

Lemon Zest

Zest from one of the lemons is needed to intensify flavors. It brings an aromatic essence that elevates this simple dessert into something extraordinary.

Lemon Juice

You’ll need about 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. This ingredient provides both sweetness and acidity that harmonizes with other flavors in this delectable dish.
