# How To Make:
01 - In a small saucepan, combine limoncello, water, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
02 - In a large bowl, beat cold mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy. Avoid overbeating to maintain proper texture.
03 - Dip ladyfingers briefly into the cooled limoncello syrup, ensuring they absorb liquid while remaining structurally intact and not becoming soggy.
04 - Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving cup.
05 - Spoon or pipe a generous layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
06 - Repeat the layering process with additional soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream until cups are filled, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
07 - Cover cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and textures to set properly.
08 - Remove from refrigeration and garnish each cup with fresh lemon zest and optional white chocolate curls immediately before serving while well chilled.
