Instructions:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy. Then, add the mascarpone cheese and mix all over again. Set aside.
- Next, melt the white chocolate over a double-boiler or in a microwave. Add the mascarpone mixture and combine well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and fold into the mascarpone mix. Pour the lime juice and the lime zest. Combine to incorporate.
- In a shallow dish, pour the milk and add the coffee. Next, dip the ladyfingers into the mixture long enough to soften, and arrange ½ of the savoiardi/ladyfingers in the base of the pan.
- Spread over a 1/3 of the mascarpone mix and top with a layer of the remaining dipped savoiardi/ladyfingers. Spoon the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top and sprinkle extra lime zest all over the tiramisu cake (if desired). Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to set.
- Before serving, decorate with white chocolate shavings (if desired).
