Blueberry-Lemon Tiramisu is a sweet and tangy take on the classic Italian dessert. It is a no-bake recipe that is perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to turn on your oven. The combination of lemon and blueberry gives the dessert a fresh and light taste, making it perfect for a sweet summer treat.

It's also a vegetarian-friendly dessert that can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free ladyfingers.

Instructions

1.	Zest and juice the lemons. Set aside the zest.
2.	Mix 1/4 cup of blueberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has thickened.
3.	Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
4.	In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt with lemon zest. Mix well.
5.	In a separate bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6.	Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture.
7.	In a 9x13 inch dish, arrange ladyfingers in a single layer. Drizzle with the blueberry-lemon sauce. Top with a layer of the yogurt mixture.
8.	Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of yogurt mixture.
9.	Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
10.	When ready to serve, top with remaining blueberries and garnish with a mint sprig.
