BLUEBERRY LEMON TRIFLE

I love blueberry and lemon together! This is so simple and very pretty. It's a little different than the other recipes posted as it uses lemon pie filling instead of pudding. From Taste of Home. Prep time includes refrigeration.

STRAWBERRY, BLUEBERRY AND LEMON TRIFLE



Strawberry, Blueberry and Lemon Trifle image

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups blueberries
3/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar
Pinch fine sea salt
2 large eggs plus 4 large egg yolks
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 pounds strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch fine sea salt
1 quart heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 angel food cake, torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • For the blueberry lemon curd: In a medium pot, stir the blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar and salt to combine, then cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture becomes juicy, 5 to 7 minutes. While the mixture heats, whisk together the eggs and egg yolks in a medium bowl.
  • When the blueberries are soft and broken down, strain the mixture into the bowl with the eggs, pressing firmly on the solids inside the strainer to release all of the liquid (discard the solids). Whisk the hot liquid well to combine with the eggs, then return it to the pot.
  • Place the pot over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, switch to a silicone spatula to help ensure you get into the corners of the pot. Whisk or stir in the butter 1 piece at a time, stirring well after each addition. Remove from the heat.
  • Strain the curd into a medium bowl, cover directly with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to cool completely (or speed up the process by straining onto a baking sheet and covering directly with plastic wrap).
  • For the strawberry sauce: In a medium pot, toss the strawberries and lemon juice together to combine. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to become juicy, 1 to 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt together to combine.
  • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit in the pot and stir well to combine. Continue to stir over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or storage container and store in the refrigerator to cool completely.
  • To assemble the trifle: Place the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and whip to stiff peaks.
  • To assemble, start with a layer of whipped cream (using about 1/5 of the cream) in the base of a 9-inch trifle dish, then scatter a layer of angel food cake on top (using about 1/4 of the cake). Top the cake with about half of the blueberry lemon curd, using the back of a spoon to help nudge it into an even layer.
  • Repeat this step, but this time replace the curd with half of the strawberry mixture.
  • Repeat the steps with the whipped cream, blueberry and strawberry layers, continuing to build up layers in the trifle, finishing with a layer of whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 8 hours).

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture for this trifle. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Make the lemon curd ahead of time: The lemon curd can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to develop and meld.
  • Use a good quality angel food cake: The angel food cake is the base of this trifle, so it's important to use a good quality cake. Look for a cake that is light and fluffy, with a fine crumb.
  • Don't over-whip the cream: The whipped cream should be stiff peaks, but not over-whipped. Over-whipped cream will be grainy and difficult to spread.
  • Assemble the trifle just before serving: The trifle is best served fresh, so assemble it just before you're ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

This blueberry lemon trifle is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your trifle tart or sweet, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this blueberry lemon trifle a try.
