🧾 Key Ingredients
For the Lemon Curd
Egg yolks: Add richness and help thicken the curd. Whisk constantly to prevent curdling.
Sugar: Balances the tartness of the lemons. Honey or sugar alternatives can be used if desired.
Lemon juice & zest: Freshly squeezed juice and zest are essential for bright, bold flavor.
Butter: Adds creaminess and smoothness. Unsalted is best, but salted works too.
For the Lemon Syrup
Lemon juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
Water: Dilutes the juice for a milder syrup.
Sugar: Sweetens the syrup to balance the tartness.
For the Mascarpone Cream
Mascarpone cheese: A rich, creamy Italian cheese — essential for authentic tiramisu.
Heavy whipping cream: Adds fluffiness; must be cold before whipping.
Sugar: Sweetens the mascarpone cream and complements the lemon curd.
For Assembly
Ladyfingers: These sponge-like cookies soak up the lemon syrup beautifully.
Candied lemon slices (optional): For decoration and extra zest.
