The Best Lemon Tiramisu Recipe

by

🧾 Key Ingredients

 

For the Lemon Curd

  • Egg yolks: Add richness and help thicken the curd. Whisk constantly to prevent curdling.

  • Sugar: Balances the tartness of the lemons. Honey or sugar alternatives can be used if desired.

  • Lemon juice & zest: Freshly squeezed juice and zest are essential for bright, bold flavor.

  • Butter: Adds creaminess and smoothness. Unsalted is best, but salted works too.

For the Lemon Syrup

  • Lemon juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor.

  • Water: Dilutes the juice for a milder syrup.

  • Sugar: Sweetens the syrup to balance the tartness.

For the Mascarpone Cream

  • Mascarpone cheese: A rich, creamy Italian cheese — essential for authentic tiramisu.

  • Heavy whipping cream: Adds fluffiness; must be cold before whipping.

  • Sugar: Sweetens the mascarpone cream and complements the lemon curd.

For Assembly

  • Ladyfingers: These sponge-like cookies soak up the lemon syrup beautifully.

  • Candied lemon slices (optional): For decoration and extra zest.
