Instructions

In a bowl, combine lemon juice, sugar, and Limoncello (if using). Stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
Fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
Quickly dip ladyfingers one at a time into the lemon mixture and arrange a layer in a 9×9 inch dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone mixture.
Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, garnish with lemon zest or slices.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Limoncello and replace with extra lemon juice or lemonade.
Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
Use soft ladyfingers for easier layering and better soaking.
