Did you use hard or soft lady fingers in this recipe? Thanks!
I used hard ladyfingers for my tiramisu.
I made this dessert for the first time for card night with the girls. Not only was it quick and easy to make, it was delicious and everyone raved about it!
Awesome!
I already made it! It taste amazing <3
Awesome!
EXCELLENT my dear!!! Wonderful lemon tingle on your tongue, just the right amount of sweetness. I whipped the cream by hand and gently folded it into the mascarpone mixture resulting in a light dessert.
Thank you for posting!😉
Awesome! Glad you like it 🙂
