The limoncello tiramisu is a fresh and flavorful dessert with a little extra kick compared to the classic tiramisu. It is quickly prepared for a creamy and tasty result, not suitable for everyone due to the presence of limoncello. For an alcohol-free version, I recommend reading the lemon tiramisu recipe.
