"This is my "summer Tiramisu" The original recipe uses one packet of sponge fingers, but I use more to get more coverage on this size of tin. I also added the lemon zest and find it is not too tart, you can leave it out of course if you are not sure about it. You don't have to make this in a spring form pan, if you like to scoop it out of a dish, use whatever suits you. I sometimes use trifle sponges or plain cake instead of the sponge fingers. Oh... the lemons are low fat and very healthy!"

- Spoon half of the mascarpone mix over the biscuits, dip remaining fingers and arrange on the top, sprinkle again with brandy lemon juice if you have some left, followed by the rest of the mascarpone.
- Level the top using a palette knife, cover and leave in the fridge overnight.

I am part of a neighborhood supper club, so to speak. About 15 people in all but about 8 to 10 of us eat together regularly. I made and served this one night for dessert. Everyone was asking what it was before we cut into it and served it. I followed the recipe exactly and refrigerated overnight. It was the hit of the night. Everyone went back for more until it was gone. This is just a stupendous recipe. Great flavors, obviously lemon but not overpowering in any way. I made my own lemon curd and just whipped this thing together. Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe. I have had a couple of repeat performances with this and is now one of my top 5 most requested desserts and I have a lot of them.

Awesome dessert!!!! It was very easy to make and turned out great. The leftovers lasted for days...I really thought it would get mushy and break down and it didn't. Everyone loved it and we're going to make it again for a dinner party in 2 weeks. I'm sure it will be a hit there too. Be sure to cut with a wet knife so you get nice clean edges. I used the R&B liquor that is a blend of rum and brandy and the taste was perfect. Make this one -you'll love it!

10 stars! this is to die for! the sweet light creamy lemony taste was just wonderful! i used amber rum, and i did mess up on the ladyfingers, i only had enough for 1 layer so i made it more like a cheesecake. i took your advice and used a springform pan, topped it with the lemon zest and sugar and refrigertaed it overnight. it held it's shape, sliced easily, tasted marvelous- what more could anyone want????

This came out perfect! It was a little labor-intensive, but so worth it! Mascarpone cheese is only available here in 8 oz. tubs, so I used 2 and it came out fine. If you don't have caster (superfine, not powdered) sugar, you can make your own by giving regular granulated sugar a few pulses in a coffee grinder or blender. It dissolves much better in the liquid. I recommend using the suggested topping. I used turbinado (golden, large grain, crunchy) sugar since it most closely matched the description of the demerara sugar which I had never heard of. I measured the extracted juice from my 2 large home-grown lemons, and it came out to 2/3 cup, so that's what I'll go with next time. If you love lemon, this recipe will blow you away!

This was a nice change of pace! I did have to make a few alterations due to on-hand limitations: my marscapone came in 8oz tubs, so I just used three of them (I was too lazy to measure out the exact 18oz and preferred having extra filling rather than less). Because of the addition of the extra marscapone, I offset that with one extra separated egg, a couple extra spoonfulls of lemon curd, and about 100mL extra cream; I didn't have any brandy or white rum around, but I did have a bottle of limoncello tucked away in the fridge, so that was my alcohol; my lemons were pretty small, so I ended up using four instead of two, but probably should've used 6, since I ran out of the dipping liquid before I was done and had to supplement with more limoncello and a bit of bottled lemon juice (okay, so the top layer of ladyfingers was a bit boozy, what of it?! lol); I didn't bother making the lemon sugar for the topping, instead, I finely crushed up some lemon drop candies and sprinkled that on top (the bright yellow of the larger pieces was very nice against the pale tiramisu). I wish I could've taken a picture, but I was really short on time since this was a grab-and-run in the morning when I was taking it for a work party (I didn't want to snap the photo the night before, since the crushed lemon drops weren't added until the next day). Thanks for posting! I'll definitely be making this again!

This sounds amazing but the egg yolks should be cooked in the traditional tiramisu manner over a double boiler with the sugar. We use part limoncello, part amaretto for our dipping mix and we still add the vanilla to the cream while whipping it. Soft peaks are great but they don't hold up long term, especially once you start folding everything in with each other. They will break down faster. Overall though this is a perfect lemon tiramisu recipe! I'm working on candy-ing our lemon peels for the topping along with white chocolate ribbons. It's not necessary but it looks beautiful!

This dessert is SO great. I made several small changes out of necessity: I used only 16 oz of mascarpone, I used regular sugar instead of caster (there was no caster/superfine sugar at my grocery store), I used ladyfingers instead of sponge cake, and I used vodka, the only alcohol I had. This recipe is very forgiving of modifications. I noticed too late that it needed to sit overnight and had to serve it 5 hours after preparing it; it was still delicious. Despite my many oversights/modifications, this dessert couldn't be more delicious. One of my dinner guests said it was better than traditional tiramisu! Thanks for sharing this.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name. My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.<img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/4treasurehunt.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
