Step 3

  • Add 6 tablespoons of Limoncello and mix, if you are using an electric mixer, or stir with a wooden spoon. The amount of Limoncello varies depending on your taste. I would suggest to start by adding 3 spoons and tasting it, then adjust.Now, beat egg whites with a hand mixer until they form firm, stiff peaks.Using a silicone spatula, gently fold egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.With a peeler or a knife, remove the peel from the lemon.In a small pan, heat water, juice from 1/2 lemon, lemon peel, the rest of sugar and Limoncello and bring to a boil.Reduce heat to low and cook until sugar is dissolved.Set aside for some minutes to cool and remove the lemon peel.
