LEMON TRIFLE
I created this trifle when I had a ton of lemons left over from a party. I made my own lemon curd and then layered it with cream and ladyfingers soaked in homemade syrup - delicious. If you want to save time you can use store-bought lemon curd. You could also add a layer of fresh berries if you like.

LIMONCELLO TRIFLE
This is my spin on of one of my favorite desserts: tiramisu. You may know that I love anything lemon, so I thought it would be fun to give a lemony twist to tiramisu. I use ladyfingers just like you do in tiramisu, but I soak them in a limoncello simple syrup and layer them with Meyer lemon curd and a vanilla bean mascarpone cream.

Steps:
- Make the lemon curd: Bring a medium saucepan of 2 inches of water to a boil; place a bowl on top and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice and salt in the bowl. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the double boiler and add the butter, stirring until it melts. Cover the surface of the curd directly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to cool.
- Make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the limoncello. Transfer to a shallow dish and refrigerate to cool.
- Make the mascarpone cream: Combine the cream, vanilla bean seeds and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the trifle: Dip each side of each of the ladyfingers in the limoncello simple syrup and arrange in a single layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with half of the lemon curd and half of the mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight. Garnish with the lemon peel curls, if using.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Be sure to zest the lemons before you juice them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the dessert.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff, and the dessert will be tough.
- Fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture gently. If you mix them too vigorously, you will deflate the egg whites and the dessert will be less fluffy.
- Bake the dessert until it is set in the center. If you bake it for too long, it will become dry and crumbly.
- Serve the dessert chilled. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert will be more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Lemon ladyfinger dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and refreshing, with a delicate lemon flavor. The ladyfingers add a touch of texture and richness, and the lemon curd adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dessert is sure to please everyone at your table.
