HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, combine the softened mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

02

Pour the limoncello into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the limoncello, ensuring it's moistened but not soggy. Break each ladyfinger in half.

03

To assemble the parfaits, place a layer of limoncello-soaked ladyfinger halves at the bottom of four individual serving glasses or jars.

04

Spoon a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.

05

Add a layer of fresh mixed berries on top of the cream.

06

Repeat the layers: ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and then finish with a final layer of mixed berries.

07

Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving. Ensure your heavy cream is very cold for the best whipping results.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If limoncello is unavailable, you can use orange liqueur or a mixture of lemon juice and a little simple syrup. Any fresh berries can be used, or even sliced peaches or nectarines when in season.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover parfaits covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The ladyfingers may become softer over time.
