Say goodbye to overly sweet buttercream and hello to a luscious, zesty alternative that's perfect for those who prefer a lighter touch on their desserts.

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 2 tsp Limoncello liqueur

• 1 1/2 Tbsp cold water

• 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (sold near the Jell-O in the store)

Step 1: Prep Gelatin

Sprinkle gelatin into a microwave safe dish, add water and whisk until all the gelatin has been absorbed, set to the side.

Step 2: Whisk it up

Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar and Limoncello in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to neat until mixture is thickened but doesn't quite have soft peaks yet. Begin by whipping the heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Properly chilled heavy cream is the key to achieving that fluffy texture we all crave. This step adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the Limoncello's bright flavor.
