- 1 pinch salt

## Instructions

1. Zest the lemon first and set the zest aside for garnishing later.

5. Set aside to cool.
6. Whip the cream in a bowl to soft peaks.
7. In a separate bowl beat the mascarpone with the remaining sugar and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
8. Add one third of the whipped cream to the mascarpone and fold gently with a spatula.
9. Add the remaining cream and fold again until just combined.
10. Spoon the lemon curd into the cream mixture and lightly fold so you get a marbled effect.
11. Dip the sponge fingers one at a time into the limoncello syrup and arrange them in a single layer in your chosen dish or large bowl.
12. Spoon over one third of the cream and spread evenly.
13. Add another layer of dipped sponge fingers and another layer of cream.
14. Repeat one more time so you have three layers of each.
15. Grate white chocolate over the top and sprinkle with the reserved lemon zest.
16. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least three hours so the layers can soften and meld together.
