Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in chunks
1 pint fresh strawberries, stemmed and halved lengthwise
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh blackberries
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
1 prepared lemon poundcake, sliced (12-16 oz)
1/4 cup Grand Marnier (or lemoncello, optional)
fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the lemon curd: Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Combine the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a metal or glass heat-resistant bowl and whisk until smooth. Set the bowl over the simmering water, without letting the bottom touch, and continue to whisk. Keep working-out that arm and whisk it vigorously for a good 10 minutes, until the curd has doubled in volume and is very thick and yellow. Don't let it boil. Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the butter, a couple of chunks at a time, until melted. Refrigerate until the custard is cold and firm.
  • To build the trifle: put the berries in a mixing bowl and toss them together so they are evenly distributed. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled lemon curd to lighten it up into a mousse. Line a glass trifle bowl with pieces of pound cake to fit. Drizzle or brush the cake with the Lemoncello, spoon a layer of the lemon curd over the cake, and then a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, the last layer looks best if it's the berries.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but I thought I would give this trifle a try. I'm so glad I did! The lemon curd was not too tart and the berries added a nice sweetness. The trifle was light and fluffy and it disappeared quickly.

This trifle was a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I would use less lemon juice in the curd.
