🌟Secrets to a Light and Creamy Lemon Tiramisu🌟
⭐️ Recommended Bakeware Size: The size of the bakeware is 12 x 28 x 7.5 cm.
⭐️ Mascarpone Substitutes: If you don’t have mascarpone cheese, you can use cream cheese or ricotta cheese, which has a slightly lighter taste.
⭐️ Optional Twist with Limoncello: If you’d like to add a touch of alcohol, a small amount of Limoncello (Italian lemon liqueur) can enhance the lemon flavor and give it a more grown-up taste. However, in our family, we always make this tiramisu without alcohol so that our children can enjoy it too 😋 simple, fresh, and delicious.
⭐️ Biscotti Texture Tips: For a firmer texture, dip the biscotti very briefly in the lemon juice. For a softer texture that melts into the cream, let them soak a few seconds longer.
