Sicilian Lemon Tiramisu

Instructions

1. 1

   Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.

2. 2

   Add the granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.

3. 3

   Add the mascarpone cheese to the yolk-sugar mixture and mix until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

5. 5

   In a shallow dish, combine the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.

6. 6

   Quickly dip each Savoiardi (ladyfinger) into the lemon juice mixture, making sure not to soak them too long to avoid sogginess.

7. 7

   Arrange a layer of dipped Savoiardi at the bottom of your serving dish.

8. 8

   Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the Savoiardi layer.
