Ingredients

Scale

1 package (7 oz) ladyfingers (savoiardi)

16 oz mascarpone cheese

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup powdered sugar

Zest of 2 lemons

1/2 cup limoncello

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, mix together the mascarpone cheese, lemon zest, limoncello, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
In a shallow dish, combine water and additional limoncello to create a soaking mixture.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the soaking mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Serve chilled, garnished with extra lemon zest if desired.
