I created this lemon tiramisu to please everyone in my family. It's a cross between cheesecake and tiramisu with a refreshing lemony flavor. Garnish with fresh berries if you have them on hand. —Monica Marolt, Willowick, Ohio

Ingredients

1 carton (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
1 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon lemon extract
2/3 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
24 crisp ladyfinger cookies
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Directions

Beat first five ingredients on medium speed until blended, 2-3 minutes (do not overbeat).
Whisk lemon juice and sugar in a shallow bowl until sugar is dissolved. Quickly dip eight ladyfingers into lemon juice, allowing excess to drip off; place in a single layer in an 8-in. square dish. Spread a third of the mascarpone mixture over top. Repeat layers twice.
Sprinkle with lemon zest. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours before serving.

Wayyy too lemony! What made it bad was dipping ladyfingers in lemon juice (and sugar), I would definitely skip that step.

I feel like we owe this recipe some liquor......dip ladyfingers in lemoncello? Then we can rival tiramisu ;)
