Steps

1 hour

1

First, make the syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and limoncello. Bring to a boil, then let cool completely.
2

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone, grated lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon limoncello, and continue beating until smooth and thick. Gently fold in the egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.
3

In a baking dish, layer the ladyfingers dipped briefly in the limoncello syrup (don’t soak them too much or they’ll get soggy) and the mascarpone cream.
4

For the final layer, sprinkle with chopped pistachios. If you prefer, you can use white chocolate shavings and lemon slices instead.
