# How To Make It:
01 - Combine limoncello, water, granulated sugar, and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat cold mascarpone, cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy. Avoid overbeating to maintain proper texture.
03 - Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the cooled limoncello syrup, ensuring adequate absorption without allowing them to become soggy.
04 - Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each individual serving cup.
05 - Spoon or pipe a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfinger base.
06 - Repeat the layering process with additional soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream until cups reach capacity, finishing with a cream layer on top.
07 - Cover cups and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight to allow flavors to develop and meld.
08 - Just before serving, garnish each cup with fresh lemon zest and optional white chocolate curls.
