Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • 16 oz Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 ½ cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ½ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Lemon Curd
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Zest of 2 Lemons

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Bring the mascarpone to room temperature and chill mixing bowls for best whipping results.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a shallow dish, mix lemon juice, water, and granulated sugar to create the soaking syrup.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Dip ladyfingers quickly into the lemon syrup and layer in a 9×13 dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture on top, then spoon lemon curd over it. Repeat with a second layer of ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone mixture.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. Finishing Touches: Pipe or spread whipped cream on top and sprinkle with lemon zest.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Do not oversoak the ladyfingers or they’ll fall apart.
  • Let the dessert chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for a brighter taste.
  • Decorate with edible flowers or berries for a stunning presentation.
