Lemon Tiramisu

Difficulty: toque toque

Price: Cheap

I continue my tiramisu series with a vibrant and tangy version, 100% lemon! Seasonal fruits are becoming scarce, but citrus fruits are always here to delight us, and lemon pairs very well with mascarpone in this delicious tiramisu 😉
And of course, if necessary (children or pregnant women, for example), you can use the egg-free cream recipe from this tiramisu

 When the cream has thickened, let it cool off the heat for a few minutes, then add the butter cut into small pieces. Blend the cream with an immersion blender for a few minutes until it is smooth and the butter is completely incorporated. Refrigerate until assembly.

Soaking syrup:

Assembly:


 About thirty ladyfingers
 Some lemon zest
 
Soak the ladyfingers in lemon syrup and place them at the bottom of your dish. Add half of the mascarpone mousse, then some lemon curd. Place a second layer of soaked ladyfingers, then more lemon curd. Next, pour the remaining mousse. Smooth the surface. For decoration, I did a marbling millefeuille style with the remaining lemon curd, but you can simply decorate with lemon zest. Chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours before enjoying!
