Method

Prepare the Limoncello Filling

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy, then fold in the limoncello until fully incorporated.

Make the Warm Berry Compote

  1. 2

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries have released their juices and the mixture is warm, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Prepare the Lemon Curd

  1. 3

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth.

Make the Toasted Marshmallow Fluff

  1. 4

    Using a kitchen torch, toast the marshmallow fluff until golden brown. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can place it under a broiler for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Prepare the Crème Anglaise

  1. 5

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar over medium heat until just simmering. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cool.
