Notes

This Lemon Cream Delight is perfect for gatherings or a sweet treat after dinner. You can switch the lemons for other citrus fruits like limes or oranges for a different flavor twist.
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt in place of mascarpone cheese, though the flavor and texture will differ slightly.
If you prefer a little crunch, layer some crushed cookies in between the cream layers for added texture.
