Ingredients:
Milk Blend:
- 1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
- 1 Cup Evaporated Milk
- 1 Can Condensed Milk
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
Mascarpone Mixture:
- 6oz Mascarpone Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 1/4 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
Other Ingredients:
- 2-7oz Bags Lady Fingers
- Store Bought Lemon Curd (I used Stonewall)
Instructions:
Prepare the Milk Mixture:
- In a bowl, whisk together the whole milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
Assemble the Cake:
- Arrange the lady fingers in the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
- Pour 1/3 of the prepared milk mixture over the lady fingers. Let them absorb the milk.
- Flip the lady fingers and pour half of the remaining milk mixture over them. Flip them back to ensure they are soaked on all sides.
- Add a second layer of lady fingers, dipping each one in the remaining milk mixture before arranging them on top.
Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture:
- In a bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla using a hand mixer on low speed.
- Once the mixture starts to thicken, increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until fluffy. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the soaked lady fingers.
Refrigerate:
- Chill the cake for 20 minutes to let the mascarpone set slightly before adding the lemon curd.
- Spread lemon curd over the mascarpone layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).
Serve:
- Before serving, you can add whipped topping (optional) for extra fluffiness.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the creamy, citrusy goodness!
Tips:
- Mascarpone: Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before using. This ensures it blends smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the mascarpone mixture to avoid a buttery texture. It should be smooth with medium peaks.
- Storage: The cake will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.
