Recipe published by Smachnenke.

You will need:

• mascarpone — 175 g
• whipped cream with sugar — 400 ml
• lemon juice — 50 ml
• shortbread cookies or ladyfingers — 350 g
• milk — 150 ml
• lemon zest, fresh berries, or cookie crumbs — for serving

Method of preparation: 

In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, whipped cream, and lemon juice. Whisk or beat with a mixer until you get a smooth, delicate cream.

Quickly dip each cookie in milk to soften it, but don't let it get soggy. Layer the dessert alternately: cream, cookies, then cream and cookies again, finishing with a layer of cream on top.

Sprinkle with zest, add berries or cookie crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dessert to set.
