Cilento lemon tiramisù

There is a tiramisù that tastes not of coffee but of a lemon grove: cold, layered in a glass. Minnelea Extra Lemon Marmalade does the job usually left to cocoa, cutting the mascarpone cream with a clean citrus vein, layer after layer. No oven, no cooking, just four hours in the fridge and a basil leaf to finish the scent.

Method

  1. Loosen the Minnelea Extra Lemon Marmalade with 20 ml of hot water, stirring until you have a flowing but not runny sauce. Leave it to cool to lukewarm.
  2. Whip the well-chilled cream to soft peaks: it should fold over, not stand up in stiff points.
  3. In a bowl, beat the mascarpone with the icing sugar and half the grated lemon zest until you have a smooth cream.
  4. Fold the cream into the mascarpone in two additions, working from the bottom upwards so you do not knock the air out of the mixture.
  5. Make the soaking syrup with the cold water, the remaining zest and, if you like, the limoncello. Dip the savoiardi for one second per side: they should moisten, not soak.
  6. Build the glasses: a layer of savoiardi, a layer of cream, a teaspoon of the marmalade sauce dotted over the top. Repeat up to the rim, finishing with cream.
  7. Finish the surface with a last vein of marmalade drawn through with the tip of a knife, without stirring it into the cream.
  8. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Just before serving, finish each glass with a basil leaf and a curl of lemon zest.
