16 oz mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Zest of 2 lemons
Instructions
1. Mix limoncello, water, and sugar in a shallow bowl.

3. Whip cream to soft peaks in a chilled bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla.

– Don’t over-soak ladyfingers—they’ll get mushy.
– Make a day ahead for best texture and taste.
