Raspberry Lemon Trifle image

This is from Bon Appetit. It uses a frozen pound cake to make it a little easier than their normal recipes. Start to make a day ahead as it needs to chill overnight. Time to make does not include that time!

Time 1h

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup water
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 pints fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons sugar
16 ounces frozen pound cake, thawed
2 cups chilled whipping cream

Steps:

  • For syrup: Combine sugar, lemon juice, and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 1 minute. Cover and chill.
  • For curd: Whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Add butter and lemon peel. Stir over medium heat until curd thickens to pudding consistency, about 10 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Press plastic wrap onto surface of curd. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead.).
  • For fruit and topping: Combine 2 baskets raspberries and 1/4 cup sugar in bowl. Mash berries coarsely with fork. Let stand until juices form, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut cake crosswise into 8 pieces. Cut each piece into 3 strips. Line bottom of 3-quart trifle bowl with 8 cake strips, trimming to fit. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons syrup; spread with 2/3 cup curd, then half of mashed berries. Repeat layering. Top with remaining cake, syrup, and curd. Cover; chill overnight.
  • Beat cream and 3 tablespoons sugar in bowl until peaks form; spread over trifle. Mound remaining berries in center.

This trifle was a disaster. The custard was too runny and the berries were sour.

I found this trifle to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more lemon zest to the curd.

This trifle is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the lemon curd.
