Limoncello, vanilla mascarpone, crushed cherries and white chocolate
Recipe for lemon tiramisu
Limoncello tiramisu with vanilla mascarpone, crushed cherries, and white chocolate.
This is clearly not the traditional tiramisù, but the layers of biscuits and creamy vanilla mascarpone are a link to the dessert we know and love.
The combination of cherries, limoncello, and white chocolate gives the dessert an enjoyable lightness and is inspired by the long summer days on the Amalfi Coast.
We got the recipe from the book: “Jamie Cooks Italy.”

- Pit the cherries, tear them into smaller pieces, and distribute them over the cream.
- Place the remaining biscuits in a layer on top, drizzle with the remaining coffee, and spread the rest of the cream over.
