Instructions
Keep a non-metallic serving dish ready. Use any serving dish you prefer - round, square, or rectangle. I used a 6"x 9" casserole dish.
Lemon Syrup
Combine water, sugar, and lemon peel in a small saucepan.
Bring to a simmer on medium heat. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
Let the syrup cool, whisk in the lemon juice, remove the lemon peel, and transfer to a bowl. Keep aside.
Filling
Whip the cream in a chilled bowl for 4-5 minutes until soft to medium peaks form.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and icing sugar.
Fold in the whipped cream and lemon curd. Don't overmix.
Assembly
Start assembling the lemon tiramisu with eggless lemon curd by dipping the ladyfingers, one at a time, in the lemon syrup.
Arrange the soaked cookies in a single layer in your serving dish.
Evenly spread half of the mascarpone-lemon curd mixture on top.
Make another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the filling.
Spread out the rest of the filling on top of the second layer.
Drop small spoonfuls of lemon curd on top of the mascarpone filling and make swirls. This step is OPTIONAL.
Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Decorate with lemon slices and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
Don’t use metal utensils. You don’t want the acid in the lemon to react, giving your eggless tiramisu a metallic taste.
The mascarpone should be at room temperature.
Fold the mascarpone, whipped cream, and lemon curd with a light hand so it remains light and airy.
Give the cookies a good dunk in the syrup, for about 1-2 seconds. We don't want mushy cookies, just soft ones.
Let it chill. Give the tiramisu a good 8 hours in the fridge, so the ladyfinger biscuits have the time to soak up the flavors.
Leftover lemon syrup? Use it in iced teas, mocktails, and cocktails.
