How It’s Made
- Prepare the Filling: Begin by melting white chocolate and allowing it to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whip your cream (or mascarpone) until it forms soft peaks. Fold in the white chocolate, lemon zest, and juice until smooth and luscious.
- Assemble the Layers: On a flat surface or a cake pan, start with a layer of wafers. Spread a generous amount of the lemon-white chocolate mixture over the top. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up your ingredients, ending with a cream layer.
- Chill and Set: Cover the cake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the wafers to soften slightly and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Decorate and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with lemon zest, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of white chocolate. Slice carefully to showcase the beautiful layers.
Tips & Variations
- Add a touch of vanilla extract or a drop of lemon oil for extra depth of flavor.
- For a slightly tangier version, mix in a bit of cream cheese with the filling.
- Use flavored wafers (lemon, vanilla, or almond) to customize the base.
