Method

1
Crack the room-temperature eggs into a round-bottomed metal bowl. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and juice. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. (The bottom of the bowl must not touch the water.)
2
Heat the mixture over the water bath, whisking constantly with a balloon whisk, until the mixture thickens. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the water bath and add the cubed butter. Whisk until the butter has melted. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the lemon curd and transfer to the refrigerator to set for about 20 minutes. The lemon curd will be used both in the filling and on top of the tiramisu.
3
Whip the cream into stiff peaks. Mix in the mascarpone and 1/2 dl of the lemon curd. Season with sugar and vanilla sugar.
4
Measure the water and sugar into a saucepan. Heat until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool, then stir in the lemon juice. Pour the lemon sugar syrup or limoncello into a shallow dish.
5
Dip both sides of the ladyfingers in the lemon sugar syrup or limoncello. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a dish (approx. 25 x 20 cm). Spread half of the filling over the ladyfingers.
6
Layer the remaining ladyfingers and the rest of the filling. Spoon or pipe a layer of lemon curd on top. Smooth the surface with a spoon.
7
Allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. Decorate with lemon slices, fresh mint, and edible flowers just before serving.
