Description

This Outrageous Lemon Lovers Trifle is a delightful, layered dessert perfect for any lemon enthusiast. Featuring tender pound cake cubes, tangy lemon curd, and fluffy whipped cream, this trifle is elegantly garnished with fresh lemon zest and optional berries or mint leaves. Its refreshing citrus flavor makes it a fantastic choice for parties or a light, indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pound Cake

  • 1 prepared pound cake (16 oz), cut into cubes

Filling

  • 2 cups lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)

Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Fresh berries or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream will be creamy and airy, perfect for layering.
  2. Layer Pound Cake: In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, place an even layer of the cubed pound cake on the bottom to create the base layer of the trifle.
  3. Add Lemon Curd: Spoon a generous layer of tangy lemon curd evenly over the pound cake cubes, spreading it gently to cover the cake.
  4. Top with Whipped Cream: Spread a layer of the prepared whipped cream over the lemon curd layer, creating a soft and smooth topping.
  5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with remaining pound cake cubes, lemon curd, and whipped cream, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
  6. Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle the top with fresh lemon zest and optionally garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use store-bought lemon curd for convenience or make your own for a fresher taste.
  • Chill the trifle for at least 2 hours to let flavors combine and the dessert to set properly.
  • For a lighter dessert, substitute part of the heavy cream with mascarpone or yogurt.
  • Fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries complement the lemon flavor and add color.
  • This dessert is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
