Ingredients

• 450 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 75 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Lime zest
• 60 ml Fresh lime juice
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 85 grams Unsalted butter
• 500 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• 50 grams Caster sugar
• 200 grams Ladyfinger cookies
• 60 ml Limoncello (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the lime curd: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.

Step 2

Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the unsalted butter one piece at a time until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Strain the lime curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until cool.

Step 5

Prepare the berry syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 250 grams of mixed berries, caster sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Stir in limoncello (optional), and let the syrup cool completely.

Step 7

Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until smooth and thickened.

Step 8

Assemble the tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger cookie quickly into the cooled berry syrup and place them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or individual serving glasses.

Step 9

Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers, followed by a thin layer of lime curd.

Step 10

Scatter a portion of the remaining fresh mixed berries over the curd.

Step 11

Repeat the layers (ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, lime curd, and berries) until the dish is filled, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream and fresh berries on top.

Step 12

Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 13

Serve chilled and garnish with additional lime zest if desired.
