Tiramisu is one of those restaurant desserts that is really hard to say no to. It is so rich, creamy, decadent and so full of flavor. Well this is all of that, but with lemon flavor! It is the ultimate spring and summer treat you are going to have on repeat.

No Bake Lemon Cheesecake has always been really high up there on my list of favorite lemon desserts, but this lemon tiramisu just might take the top spot. Plus it is so easy to make!

I love no bake desserts all year round, but this is perfect for spring and summer when the weather starts to warm up. The bright lemon flavor just screams spring and it will surely disappear at your next get together!

What You’ll Need

• Mascarpone Cheese
• Cream Cheese
• Granulated Sugar
• Heavy Cream
• Lemons
• Lemon Extract
• Vanilla Extract
• Lady Fingers
• Lemonade/Limoncello

Whether you want to use lemonade or limoncello is entirely up to you. It is really just if you want to have the alcohol in your dessert or not. Limoncello tiramisu just means you are dipping the lady fingers in limoncello to help soften them, which gives them the same lemon flavor as lemonade.

How To Make Lemon Tiramisu

1. Mix together cream cheese, mascarpone cheese and sugar until it is super creamy. Add in lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon extract and vanilla extract until well blended.
2. In a stand mixer beat heavy cream until you get to stiff peaks.
3. Add whipped cream to cream cheese mixture and fold together until everything is combined.
4. Pour lemonade or limoncello into a shallow bowl. Dip lady fingers, turning them over so they are coated on all sides. Do not let them sit in the liquid for more than a few seconds or they will start to fall apart.
5. Layer lady fingers into the bottom or your baking dish. Top with half of the cream mixture and spread it into an even layer. Repeat with a second layer of lady fingers and the rest of the cream mixture.
6. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours up or overnight.

What Are Lady Fingers

Lady fingers are a sweet sponge cookie. They don’t have a lot of flavor and are kind of bland on their own. But they are the classic base for this dessert. They soften and absorb the flavor of the cream mixture as the tiramisu sets up. You can find them in the cookie aisle at Whole Foods or most Grocery Stores. You can also order them on Amazon.
