Steps for Preparing the No-Bake Lemon Paradise Cake
Remember to put the condensed milk in the fridge two or three hours before using it as it will need to be cold. Pour the cream into a bowl. Add the mascarpone and work with the electric whisks until you obtain a thick foam.
Continue working with the whisks while slowly adding the condensed milk, continue whisking until you obtain a thick foam. Scent with grated organic lemon zest and add two or three tablespoons of filtered lemon juice. Mix well.
Line a baking dish with plastic wrap. Form the base and sides with pavesini soaked in milk. Pour and level the cream. Close the cake with more pavesini soaked in milk.
Place the cake in the fridge for at least two or three hours. You can also prepare it the day before. Invert onto a cutting board or a plate and serve.
Storage
Store the cake in the refrigerator for two or three days.
