  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mascarpone cheese and ½ cup of lemon curd. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix ½ cup of fresh lemon juice with ¼ cup of limoncello. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into this mixture, ensuring each side is soaked but not soggy.
  3. Layer soaked ladyfingers in your serving dish, and spread half of your creamy mascarpone mixture over them.
  4. Repeat the dipping process with another set of ladyfingers and place them over the mascarpone layer. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
  5. Cover the assembled Tiramisu with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.
  6. Dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
