Margarita Tiramisu #SundayFunday

This fun Mexican take on an Italian classic is amazingly delicious.  True, it doesn't taste much like a Margarita nor a Tiramisu.  It's more like a Lemon Lime Cheesecake with Margarita soaked LadyFingers.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Lemon/Lime Recipes today.......

Mayuri of Mayuri's Jikoni is hosting today and chose this fun theme.  I was originally going to make a Lemon Tiramisu but then my daughter invited us to a Mexican Themed Pool Party so I decided to play a bit and turn it into a Margarita Tiramisu.  

Let's see what the others are bringing to the party.......

• Culinary Cam: A Citrusy Sweet and a Savory: "The Actual Good Meringue" Lemon Pie + Calamari-Lime Salad 
• Amy’s Cooking Adventures: Atlantic Beach Pie 
• Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice: Deviled Eggs with Basil, Capers, & Lemon Zest 
• Cook with Renu: Fresh Mint Chocolate Lemon Bark 
• Mayuri’s Jikoni: Lemon Linguine 
• A Day in the Life on the Farm: Margarita Tiramisu 
• Sneha’s Recipe: No Oil Less Salt Lime Pickle 

If you want an early morning laugh, just ask my husband to make you one of his Fantastic Margaritas at 6:30 in the morning as he is pouring coffee.  "Right now?" he asks to which I replied that I had already been up for over an hour.

He shook his head at me and complied, as he always does.  He quit trying to figure me out years ago!!

I poured that Margarita into a shallow bowl and started dipping some lady fingers into it and placing them on the bottom of a 9x13" baking pan.  Then I spread a layer of Mascarpone and Cream Cheese flavored with lemon pudding and lime juice and topped it with more of those Margarita soaked Cookies.

Another layer of the pudding, a smattering of freshly zested lime and into the refrigerator it went until it was time to head to our daughter's party.  

I made a large pan of this scrumptious dessert because I wanted to serve about 15 people.  You can halve the recipe and use an 8 or 9" square pan with excellent results for smaller crowds.
