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.

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.

LEMON TRIFLE



Lemon Trifle image

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.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 43m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pint blueberries
1 pint strawberries, hulled and cut into thick slices
2 pint raspberries
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 quart whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (11-ounce) jar lemon curd
1 store bought pound cake, sliced 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • Place the berries into a large bowl and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice. Lightly toss.
  • Combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch and remaining lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook just until the berries begin to break down and give up their juices, about 3 minutes. Take the berries off the heat and let cool; the mixture should thicken up as is cools.
  • In a clean bowl, whip the cream with the sugar and the vanilla to soft peaks. Put the lemon curd into a second bowl and stir in a little of the whipped cream to loosen it. Then fold in the rest of the cream.
  • To assemble the trifle, spoon a layer of the lemon cream into a large glass bowl. Add a layer of pound cake, breaking the slices into pieces that fit. Then soak the cake with a layer of berries and their juices. Keep going to make 3 or 4 more layers, depending on the size of the bowl, finishing with a layer of lemon cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Provided by chia2160

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup 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 poundcake, sliced (12-16 oz)
1/4 cup Grand Marnier (or lemoncello, 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 Lemoncello, 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.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade lemon curd. You can find a recipe for lemon curd in the "Lemon Curd" section of this article.
  • If you don't have any fresh berries, you can use frozen berries instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • If you want a boozy trifle, you can add a splash of your favorite liqueur to the whipped cream or custard.
  • For a more elegant presentation, pipe the whipped cream or custard onto the trifle instead of spreading it.
  • Serve the trifle immediately, or refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

A lemon curd trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a tasty treat, give this lemon curd trifle a try!
