In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and whisk it until it begins to thicken, but do not let it become fully stiff.

Add the limoncello liqueur, lemon zest, lemon juice, and powdered sugar to the partially whipped cream. Gently whisk again until the mixture forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.

Divide the crushed cookies equally among 4 dessert glasses or bowls, creating a base layer in each one.
Step 5
Spoon the limoncello syllabub mixture over the crushed cookies, filling each glass or bowl.
Step 6
Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top for decoration.
Step 7
If desired, garnish each dessert with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and added aroma.
Step 8
