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.

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.......

Margarita Tiramisu

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.
