Instructions

Place your mascarpone in a bowl and ad a little bit of icing sugar. Add the lemon curd in and mix everything together well. Taste and add more sugar if you want.
Place 4 wide whiskey glasses on your work bench.
Break the lady fingers in smaller pieces and assemble those on the bottom of the glass. You can drizzle a little bit of lemon juice on top of the lady fingers if you want.
Crumble some of the amaretti cookies and stir this through the mascarpone. Take half of the raspberries and puree this with a fork. Stir through the mascarpone briefly to create a swirl effect.
Put half of the mascarpone in the glass on top of the ladyfingers. Depending on the size of your glass you can add another layer on top (ladyfingers first/mascarpone next)
Put some pretty raspberries on top of the last layer of mascarpone and sprinkle with some icing sugar.
Done!

Notes

Storing: You can make this easy dessert in advance. Cover with some plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to use.
