4 Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the chilled lemon syrup (1–2 seconds per side so they don’t get soggy) and arrange a single layer in your serving dish. πŸͺπŸ’§

5 Spread half of the mascarpone-lemon cream over the soaked ladyfingers in an even layer. πŸ₯„πŸ§€

6 Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with the remaining cream, smoothing the top. πŸͺ🍰

7 Cover and chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (240 minutes) or overnight to set and let flavors meld. ❄️⏳

8 Before serving, dust with grated white chocolate or powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves. πŸ«πŸ“πŸŒΏ
