Recipe

Craving a refreshing alcohol-free dessert? Use the Geedel vegetable chopper to crush ladyfingers and chop lemon zest—just manual pressing for easy prep, no electricity needed. Assemble in 20 minutes, and you'll get creamy mascarpone cheese balanced with bright lemon freshness. Alcohol-free, it's suitable for all ages!

Ingredients

200g mascarpone cheese

150ml whipped cream

12 ladyfingers

2 lemons (juice and zest)

50g caster sugar

2 eggs (yolks only)

a pinch of salt

2g lemon zest (for garnish)

Instructions

Chop lemon zest + crush ladyfingers: Fine handling with Geedel!

Wash the lemons and zest the yellow outer layer (avoid the bitter white pith). Place the zest in the vegetable chopper (fine shred setting)  and grate into fine shreds—finer than knife-chopped, for a purer aroma. The chopper's sharp, non-stick blade prevents zest from sticking. Put ladyfingers into this palm-sized chopper, switch to the dicing attachment, and press lightly to get coarse crumbs (retains texture for a layered base).

Make the cheese filling: Creamy and lump-free!

In a bowl, mix egg yolks and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Add mascarpone cheese and salt, stirring until smooth. Whip the whipped cream to stiff peaks, fold into the cheese mixture, then stir in lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.

Assemble and chill: Refreshing and flavorful!

Spread a layer of ladyfinger crumbs at the bottom of a container, top with a layer of cheese filling, and repeat twice (end with cheese filling). Sprinkle lemon zest on top. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours (or overnight). Slice before serving—the bright lemon cuts through the richness of the cheese, and the alcohol-free recipe works for kids and adults alike.

Summary

This Italian dessert solves the pain points of 'tiramisu containing alcohol' and 'cumbersome lemon zest prep'. The Geedel hand food chopper creates fine, aromatic lemon zest and evenly textured ladyfinger crumbs, working manually without power. Assemble in 20 minutes + chill to infuse flavor—refreshing and not greasy!
