Instructions

1. Make the lemon curd first: in a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice, grated zest, sugar and eggs. Cook gently for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a smooth cream.
2. Strain the curd quickly into a cold container, then gradually stir in the diced butter while still warm. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.
3. For the mascarpone mousse, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl. Heat to 80°C (176°F) to pasteurize, then whip until light and airy.
4. Gently fold in the mascarpone, then the semi-whipped cream, using upward strokes to keep it soft and fluffy.
5. Dip the ladyfingers briefly in limoncello and place a first layer in the serving dish. Spread a layer of mousse on top and keep alternating layers.
6. Spread the chilled lemon curd over the top of the dessert and finish with freshly grated lemon zest.
