Limoncello: delicious! Tiramisu: incredibly tasty! What if you combine those two in one dish? Double the fun! And the good news: you really don’t have to be a master pastry chef to make this limoncello tiramisu. Anyone can make this wonderfully delicious dessert – and everyone fights over that last piece (yes, I speak from experience).

INGREDIENTS
12 ladyfingers
100 ml Limoncello di Fiorito
75 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
250 grams mascarpone
50 ml of milk
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
zest of 1/2 lemon
box of strawberries or raspberries (optional)

If life gives you lemons… and two left hands
So you can definitely make this limoncello tiramisu. And let's be honest: who doesn't love limoncello? I don't know any haters. It makes sense, because what’s not to like of the refreshing Southern Italian lemon liqueur? Wonderful to drink after dinner, but with limoncello you can really go in all directions. For example, make a limoncello cocktail, wonderfully refreshing. Or how about limoncello madeleines? But first: limoncello tiramisu!

Here’s how to make limoncello tiramisu

1. Place the ladyfingers in a baking dish
2. Pour the Limoncello di Fiorito and the orange juice over them
3. Mix the mascarpone and milk until creamy
4. Add powdered sugar, vanilla paste, and lemon zest
5. Spread the mixture over the ladyfingers
6. Optionally sprinkle the strawberries or raspberries on top
7. Place in the refrigerator. Three hours is sufficient. And then: dig in! The name tiramisu literally means ’pull me up’, which means ‘lift me up’ or ‘make me happy’. That will definitely happen with this recipe, especially with a glass of ice-cold Limoncello di Fiorito on the side.
