🍽️ How to Serve Lemon Tiramisu
Serve chilled, straight from the fridge. It’s wonderful on its own or dressed up with:
-
A dusting of powdered sugar
-
Whipped cream
-
Fresh berries
-
Candied lemon slices
Pair it with limoncello, iced tea, or a hot cup of Earl Grey for a refreshing dessert experience.
✅ Expert Tips
-
Use Fresh Lemon Juice & Zest: Bottled lemon juice just doesn’t cut it — fresh is key!
-
Chill Time Is Essential: Let it chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
-
Whip to Soft Peaks: For the fluffiest cream layer, whip the heavy cream only until soft peaks form.
-
Want a Boozy Kick? Add a splash of limoncello to the lemon syrup for a grown-up version.
🔄 Variations & Substitutions
-
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free ladyfingers (and check all other ingredients).
-
Alcohol-Free: Skip the limoncello and use plain lemon syrup.
-
Orange Tiramisu: Swap lemon zest and juice with orange for a milder, sweeter twist.
-
Berry Lemon Tiramisu: Add fresh berries between layers — raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries pair beautifully with lemon.
