Introduction

A nice variation on the classic, make your own Limoncello, it is really easy and makes a great gift with a few recipes on how to use it (personally, mine tends to end up over ice and drunk as is!!!)

Ingredients

Serves: 6

2 eggs
¼ cup superfine sugar
9 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 punnets strawberries
½ cup limoncello
½ cup cold water
7 ounces savoiardi cookies (Italian sponge fingers - I often substitute with store bought Madeira cake or sponge)
