- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 16 oz mascarpone cheese
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add the lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
