What is Limoncello Tiramisu?
Tiramisu is one of Italy’s most beloved desserts, typically made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and dusted with cocoa powder. Limoncello Tiramisu offers a refreshing twist by replacing the traditional coffee with limoncello, a sweet, lemon-flavored Italian liqueur from the Amalfi Coast. The result is a light, citrus-infused dessert that balances the rich mascarpone cream with the vibrant, zesty notes of limoncello.
This dessert beautifully captures the essence of the Amalfi Coast, where lemons are celebrated for their incredible flavor and are an integral part of the region’s cuisine. By using limoncello, the famous lemon liqueur made from the zest of local lemons, you infuse the tiramisu with a refreshing, fragrant citrus flavor that perfectly complements the creamy layers of the dessert.
