Method
In a wide shallow dish, mix the orange juice and limoncello together.
Dip half of the ladyfingers briefly (3–5 seconds) until just softened, then arrange them in a single layer in your dish.
In a large bowl, beat mascarpone, icing sugar and milk until smooth.
Add lemon zest and juice, then beat again until thick and creamy.
Spread half the mascarpone mixture evenly over the biscuits.
Dip remaining biscuits and layer again.
