LEMON TRIFLE
I created this trifle when I had a ton of lemons left over from a party. I made my own lemon curd and then layered it with cream and ladyfingers soaked in homemade syrup - delicious. If you want to save time you can use store-bought lemon curd. You could also add a layer of fresh berries if you like.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar and remove from heat. Allow syrup to cool completely. Stir in juice of 1 lemon.
- Meanwhile, combine sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir together until well combined. Add eggs and egg yolks.

- Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla sugar gradually, continuing to beat until soft peaks form.

Tips:
- Use a good quality sponge cake or pound cake. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor and texture of the trifle.
- Make sure the custard is thick enough. It should be able to coat the back of a spoon without being too runny.
- Don't over-whip the cream. It should be stiff peaks, but not so stiff that it becomes grainy.
- Assemble the trifle in layers. Start with a layer of cake, then custard, then fruit, and repeat. The final layer should be whipped cream.
- Chill the trifle for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
Conclusion:
Lemon trifle is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its layers of sponge cake, custard, fruit, and whipped cream, it's a delicious and refreshing dessert that is sure to satisfy everyone.
