Donna Hay’s Limoncello Tiramisu Recipe

Here’s a coffee-free version of this Italian dessert classic, courtesy of Donna Hay and her new cookbook Too Easy.

I do adore a tiramisu, and this coffee-free homage to the Italian classic is super simple, lightened with the tangy lemon, velvety mascarpone and a little kick of limoncello. That’s la dolce vita!

Note: To make this without the limoncello, simply replace with lemon juice and add an extra 2 tablespoons of sugar to the syrup.
