Test Kitchen Tips
  • You can often use lemon and lime juice and peel interchangeably in recipes to achieve a different flavor. To substitute orange, though, you’ll need to keep a little lemon or lime to spark up the flavor.
  • Tiramisu is often made with mascarpone, and the cheese filling is sometimes lightened by folding in whipped cream.
