Carrying on
the Lemon theme, I wanted to use up a few leftover goodies from this week. I
decided to make this simple but yummy frozen dessert.
I used a 1
litre loaf tin, double lined it with Clingfilm making sure I had enough hanging over to
fold over the top. I had some leftover Madeira cake, I sliced 3 1cm pieces
& lined the base of the tin, I poured over some homemade Limoncello onto the sponge cake, you can of course use any liqueur you wish but I was looking
for a lemon taste. I mixed 300ml of Mascarpone with 2 tablespoons of icing
sugar in a bowl, you can use double cream whipped up with the icing sugar, but
unfortunately I cannot get fresh double cream here in France. Please adjust the
sweetness to your own preference. I added the juice of a lemon & its zest
to keep the citrus theme going. Spread 2/3rd of the cream over the
sponge, on top of this I spread a generous layer of Lemon curd (look at my last
Blog for recipe). I had 2 meringue shells needing used up, so I crumbled them
over the lemon curd. Finally top it all off with the remaining cream. Use a skewer
to swirl through the mix then fold over the overlapping Clingfilm & place
in the freezer for 24 hours.
