a quick & dirty makeshift lemon tiramisu
Servings: 2 (up to 4)
ingredients:
  • 100 g 100 g Italian sponge fingers (about 12 pieces)
  • 159 g 150 g Greek yoghurt (10%)
  • 50 - 75 g 50 – 75 g lemon curd (about 3 – 4 tbsp)
  • 2 - 4 tbsp 2 – 4 tbsp Limoncello
  • 2 - 4 tbsp 2 – 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 - 3 tbsp 2 – 3 tbsp icing sugar
equipment:
  • a square glass casserole (12 x 12 cm)
  • a basting brush
how to:
  • Mix the Greek yoghurt and the lemon curd with a spoon. It’s fine if there are small pieces of lemon curd in the mix.
  • Fill the Limoncello in a small bowl, add lemon juice & icing sugar and mix thoroughly. You may add more Limoncello or more lemon juice – just as you like it. Start with 2 tbsp of each for the basic mix.
  • Arrange a layer of sponge fingers on bottom of the casserole. Use about 2/3 of the sponge fingers.
  • With a basting brush add the Limoncello mess to the sponge fingers, but reserve some for the last layer to come.
  • Add the yoghurt mix and distribute it evenly all over the sponge finger layer.
  • Add 4 sponge fingers on top. 
  • With a basting brush add the rest of the Limoncello mess to the sponge fingers.
  • Let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 h – better for 2 – 3 h.
storing:
  • You may store leftovers in the fridge for the next day – no longer!
