Why Limoncello and tiramisu are a perfect match
Limoncello is that Southern Italian lemon liqueur you prefer to drink ice-cold after an elaborate meal. Fresh, citrusy and always a little festive. Tiramisu is that classic Italian dessert that literally means ‘lift me up’. Combine the two and you get a summery showstopper that even your mother-in-law will ask for at Christmas dinner. Seriously, this Limoncello tiramisu makes everyone happy.
If life gives you lemons… and you’re all thumbs
It’ll work out then too. Because you really don’t have to be a master pastry chef to make this Limoncello tiramisu. Anyone can make it. In fact, once you’ve made it just once, you’ll never want anything else. Well, maybe limoncello madeleines… But first: Limoncello tiramisù!
Recipe: how to make your own Limoncello tiramisu
What do you need? (Already have all the ingredients at home? Nice work!)
- Place ladyfingers in a beautiful dish
- Pour Limoncello di Fiorito and some orange juice over them
- Mix mascarpone with milk until creamy
- Add icing sugar, vanilla paste and lemon zest (tip: Dr. Oetker Bourbon Vanilla Paste = excellent, and you can simply buy it at the supermarket)
- Pour the mixture over the ladyfingers
- Topping alert: adding some fresh strawberries or raspberries for color (and the wow factor) is a good idea. Some white chocolate over the top works too.
- Put it in the fridge. Chill for at least three hours. You too.
- And then: dig in. Preferably with a glass of ice-cold Limoncello on the side.
