Lemon Tiramisu
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

Made for family get together and was a bit! Added extra sugar to lemon juice for ladyfingers to my taste. Just a quick drink and it was perfect. Will be making again today, for just hubby and I.
We loved this. Used a tip from a previous review, and added a bit of extra sugar to the lemon juice mixture before dipping lady fingers. We really live lemon at our house, so this hit all the marks! It’s is dense, and hold together well for beautiful serving.
I wanted to love this-- lemon desserts are a favorite. But I thought the texture was off-putting (the creamy filling was much too dense/solid once it set up) and the taste was a bit bland. I'm inspired to try again and reinvent to my taste-- more fresh lemon, probably with some whipped cream to head in a mousse-like direction. Basically, I'm not going to take anything from this recipe but the title, but hey-- that's something.
This was amazing! I used fresh lemons and tasted the lemon/sugar mixture before dipping my Lady Fingers. My lemons were a little tart, so I added another Tbsp of sugar. Will definitely make this for my lemon-loving family again.
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 ;)
