Ingredients
LEMON SIMPLE SYRUP
2 cups granulated sugar
1 lemon, grated zest and juice of
TIRAMISU
2 cups whipping cream
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
24-32 ladyfinger cookies
1½ cups lemon simple syrup
1 cup store-bought lemon curd
1½ cups mascarpone softened
2 pints raspberries
10 mint leaves
Method
FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP
Place the sugar, lemon zest, juice, and 2 cups of water in a saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve all the sugar. Remove from the heat, let cool to room temperature, and refrigerate in the saucepan until ready to use.
FOR THE TIRAMISU
1. Set aside 6 to 8 rocks glasses or other short glasses for serving. We're flexible with the size of glass you use, and in the worst case, you've got one left over.
2. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the cream and sugar on high speed until fluffy and stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes.
3. Dip 2 ladyfinger cookies in the simple syrup and place them in the bottom of a glass, breaking them in half if required.
4. Layer 3 Tbsp of lemon curd, 2 Tbsp mascarpone, and 3 Tbsp of whipped cream on top of the ladyfinger cookies. Dip 2 more ladyfingers in the syrup and place them overtop. Repeat with the remaining glasses.
5. Garnish each glass with raspberries and mint. Refrigerate for 2 hours or ideally overnight before serving, and serve chilled.
