Lemon Tiramisu is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, Tiramisu. This zesty variation features layers of ladyfinger biscuits soaked in limoncello and fresh lemon juice, topped with a luscious mascarpone cheese and lemon zest mixture. The origins of Lemon Tiramisu are somewhat unclear, but it is believed to have emerged in the Amalfi Coast, where lemons are abundant. Renowned chefs like Gennaro Contaldo and Giada De Laurentiis have popularized this refreshing dessert.
