Ingredients
- 100g sponge fingers, broken into small pieces
- 75ml limoncello
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 165g caster sugar
- Finely grated zest of 3 lemons, plus extra grated zest to decorate
- 250g mascarpone
- 150g blueberries
- 125g strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
Directions
-
Place the sponge fingers in a bowl and drizzle with the limoncello. Stir and set aside to soften.
-
Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg yolks with 110g sugar for a few minutes until pale. Beat in the lemon zest and mascarpone.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff but not dry peaks. Using a large metal spoon, mix a spoonful of egg white into the yolk mix to loosen, then fold in the rest with the sponge fingers. Spoon into 8 × 250ml glasses. Chill for 2 hours.
-
An hour before serving, mix the fruit with the remaining sugar. Set aside to become juicy. Serve each pudding topped with the berries and some grated zest.
