Categories     dessert

Time 3h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut in chunks
1 pint fresh strawberries, stemmed and halved lengthwise
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh blackberries
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
1 prepared lemon pound cake, sliced
1/4 cup Limoncello or Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the lemon curd: Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Combine the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a metal or glass heat-resistant bowl and whisk until smooth. Set the bowl over the simmering water, without letting the bottom touch, and continue to whisk. Keep working-out that arm and whisk it vigorously for a good 10 minutes, until the curd has doubled in volume and is very thick and yellow. Don't let it boil. Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the butter, a couple of chunks at a time, until melted. Refrigerate until the custard is cold and firm.
  • To build the trifle: put the berries in a mixing bowl and toss them together so they are evenly distributed. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled lemon curd to lighten it up into a mousse. Line a glass trifle bowl with pieces of pound cake to fit. Drizzle or brush the cake with the Limoncello, spoon a layer of the lemon curd over the cake, and then a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, the last layer looks best if it's the berries. Chill before serving. Garnish with fresh mint.

LEMON CURD WITH BERRIES



Lemon Curd with Berries image

This very lemony curd is made with whole eggs instead of just the yolks, which gives it an extra-light texture.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dessert     Lemon     Lemon Juice     Berry     Strawberry     Blueberry     Blackberry     Raspberry     Summer     Spring     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup plus 1-2 tablespoons sugar
6 large eggs
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 cups mixed berries

Steps:

  • Bring lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar to a bare simmer in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisking to dissolve sugar, then remove from heat.
  • Whisk eggs, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until light and thick, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, gradually pour about one-quarter of hot lemon mixture into egg mixture, then, whisking constantly, incorporate egg mixture into remaining lemon mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until lemon curd is opaque and thick enough to hold the marks of the whisk, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape lemon curd into a blender. With motor on medium speed, add butter a piece at a time, waiting until each piece is fully incorporated before adding the next, until the butter is emulsified and curd is light and thick.
  • Transfer lemon curd to a large nonreactive bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against surface so a skin doesn't form. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Toss berries and remaining 1-2 Tbsp. sugar in another large bowl. Let sit until some juices have accumulated, 25-30 minutes. Spoon curd into bowls and top with berries and their juices.
  • Do Ahead
  • Lemon curd can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy strawberries: Look for strawberries that are bright red, plump, and have a sweet smell. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Wash and hull the strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and remove the hulls. You can use a strawberry huller to make this task easier.
  • Make the lemon curd ahead of time: Lemon curd can be made up to 3 days in advance. This gives the flavors time to develop and meld.
  • Chill the strawberries and lemon curd before serving: This will help to keep the dessert refreshing and flavorful.
  • Garnish with fresh mint or lemon zest: This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

This simple yet elegant dessert is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and juicy strawberries are perfectly complemented by the tangy lemon curd. This dish is sure to impress your guests. Additional Tips:
  • You can use frozen strawberries for this recipe. Just thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have lemon curd, you can use store-bought whipped cream or ice cream instead.
  • This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
