LEMON TRIFLE



Lemon Trifle image

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.

11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
4 teaspoons vanilla sugar
15 ladyfinger cookies, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar and remove from heat. Allow syrup to cool completely. Stir in juice of 1 lemon.
