Description
A zesty variant of a classic Italian dessert.
Ingredients
32 ladyfinger biscuits
4 fresh eggs
1 + 1/3 cups mascarpone cheese
5 oz limoncello
7 fl oz milk
1 lemon
1 cup sugar
Instructions
-
Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
-
In a large mixing bowl combine the egg yolks with the mascarpone cheese, half the amount of sugar, 2 or 3 tablespoons of limoncello, and 3 oz of lemon juice.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites firm until you get stiff peaks on your beaters. When you’re halfway through the process, add the rest of the sugar.
-
Mix the whipped egg whites with the mascarpone cream you made before, and set aside.
-
Pour the milk and the rest of the limoncello liqueur in a soup plate.
-
Soak each lady finger cookie in the mixture and put it into a baking dish, creating a first layer.
-
Add one half of the cream.
-
Create a second layer of lady fingers, and add the remaining cream.

Top with a couple tablespoons of zest from the lemon peel.
-
Let cool in the fridge at 39.2 °F for 6 hours.
