Description

A twist on the classic tiramisu, this is made with Limoncello instead of coffee. A boozy chilly cake. Perfect for the summer months.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE RICOTTA FILLING:
  • 32 ounces, weight Ricotta Cheese
  • 1-½ cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Limoncello
  • FOR THE LADY FINGERS:
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 cups Limoncello
  • 1-½ pound Lady Fingers
  • 4 cups Lemon Curd (store Bought Is Fine)
  • FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING:
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar

Preparation

For the ricotta filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta, confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of Limoncello. Mix to combine. Set aside.

For the lady fingers: In a medium sized pot, bring water and Limoncello to a simmer. Keep at a simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a shallow heat safe dish and allow to cool for five minutes.

Dip each of the lady fingers halfway into the warm Limoncello mixture then turn and dip the other side into the Limoncello mixture. Then line the bottom of a 9×13 baker with the soaked lady fingers. Once the bottom of the dish is covered with lady fingers, spread the ricotta mixture over top.

Place another row of soaked lady fingers on top of the ricotta mixture. Spread the lemon curd on top of the lady fingers.

Place a final row of soaked lady fingers on top of the lemon curd.

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whip together the whipping cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over top the lady fingers.

Refrigerate for at least four hours or preferably overnight. Serve well chilled.
