Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lemon bars (pre-baked or store-bought)
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 8 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare your lemon bars ahead of time or use store-bought lemon bars. Cut each bar into small bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Wash and pat dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric hand mixer. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while whipping. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
In a glass trifle dish or individual dessert glasses, begin layering the trifle. Start with a layer of lemon bar cubes, followed by a layer of whipped cream, and then a layer of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries). Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish.
Finish the top layer with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
