Eggless Tiramisu
All my tiramisu recipes are made without eggs. Wherever possible, I avoid using raw eggs in recipes. So the base of my tiramisu is a mixture of mascarpone and whipped cream. I don’t think you miss the eggs at all. It really is a perfect dessert for any festive occasion or dinner parties and so simple to make!
Candied lemon slices
As you can see, I made candied lemon slices for this recipe. Personally, I think they look really cool as a decoration and they are also edible. Candied lemon slices are not difficult to make (very easy in fact), but you will need plenty of time to make them.
Making candied lemon peel is a little quicker. I describe how to do this in the recipe for candied lemon peel in the FAQ section. It’s up to you, maybe you want to leave them out altogether. That’s fine too, but I think it does add an extra fancy look on top of the tiramisu.
Which lemons should I use?
If you are using lemon zest in a recipe, try to buy organic lemons. Non-organic lemons are treated with pesticides to make them last longer, and a layer of wax is added to make them shine. Unfortunately, scrubbing and washing won’t get rid of this, so there’s only one solution: organic lemons.
Limoncello tiramisu with raspberries
If you decide to skip the candied lemon slices, I have another tasty tip for you. Replace them with raspberries! It looks incredibly cheerful and besides, this limoncello tiramisu goes really well with the flavor of raspberries.
Tiramisu recipes without alcohol
Don’t like limoncello and wondering if you can leave it out of this recipe? I will soon be sharing more tiramisu recipes that are without alcohol but for this recipe it is an essential part of the flavor. That said; you can always leave out the alcohol and replace the limoncello with lemon syrup or lemonade instead. Test the liquid before using to make sure it is not too sour. If it is, add a few tablespoons of sugar (or a bit of water). That will transform this into a lemon tiramisu.
I myself am not a huge fan of alcohol in my food, but the Laura’s Bakery team who tested this limoncello tiramisu gave it a big thumbs up.
