Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Lemon curd
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 12 ounces Vanilla pound cake or sponge cake
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Slice the pound cake into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1-inch). Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and whip again briefly until stiff peaks form. Do not overwhip. Set aside.
4. Begin assembling the trifle in a large glass trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Start with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom.
5. Spread a layer of lemon curd evenly over the cake cubes. Use about 1/3 of the curd for this layer.
6. Add a layer of fresh blueberries on top of the lemon curd, using about 1/3 of the blueberries.
7. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the blueberries, using about 1/3 of the whipped cream.
8. Repeat the layering process (cake cubes, lemon curd, blueberries, whipped cream) two more times, or until your trifle dish is full, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
9. Garnish the top of the trifle with lemon zest and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
10. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
