What is Limocello Tiramisu
Limoncello Tiramisu is a delicious Italian spoon dessert. An alternative to the classic Italian tiramisu, which always enjoys indisputable success. In the Limoncello Tiramisu, the ladyfingers are dipped in Limoncello and then alternated with a soft lemon-flavored Mascarpone cream.
The peculiarity of this tiramisu also lies in the fact that the cream is prepared without eggs, and only with condensed milk and mascarpone cheese. This makes this recipe very fast and perfect for those who prefer not to eat raw eggs.
👉🏻 NOTE: When we talk about “Tiramisu without eggs”, we mean without eggs in the cream, but remember that there are eggs in Ladyfingers unless you buy ladyfingers without eggs.
