Tips and Shortcuts
Store-Bought Lemon Curd: If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought lemon curd instead of making your own. Just make sure to choose a high-quality brand for the best flavor.
Quick Chill: To speed up the chilling process of the lemon curd, place the bowl in an ice bath and stir occasionally until it reaches room temperature.
Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter tiramisu, you can add more powdered sugar to the mascarpone mixture to taste.
Variations
Berry Lemon Tiramisu: Add a layer of fresh berries, such as raspberries or blueberries, between the layers for a fruity twist.
Limoncello Tiramisu: For an adult version, mix a few tablespoons of limoncello with the lemon juice used for soaking the ladyfingers.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free ladyfingers to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftover tiramisu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, consume within this timeframe. If the tiramisu becomes too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Food and Drink Pairings
This lemon tiramisu pairs wonderfully with a variety of drinks and accompaniments. Serve it with a cup of hot tea or a glass of sparkling water with a slice of lemon for a refreshing beverage pairing. For an extra indulgent treat, enjoy it with a glass of chilled limoncello.
