Steps:
- Stir 2 cups whipping cream, milk, lemon pudding mixes, and lemon juice in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

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.

LEMON CURD TRIFLE WITH FRESH BERRIES
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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the process go much smoother.
- Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice is essential for this recipe. Bottled lemon juice will not give you the same bright, citrusy flavor.
- Don't Overbeat the Eggs: When you beat the eggs, only beat them until they are light and fluffy. Overbeating the eggs will make the cake tough.
- Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan is the best type of pan to use for this recipe. It will allow you to easily remove the cake from the pan.
- Chill the Cake: Before you assemble the trifle, chill the cake for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle and less likely to crumble.
- Layer the Trifle Carefully: When you layer the trifle, be careful not to press down on the layers too hard. You want the layers to be light and airy.
- Refrigerate the Trifle Before Serving: After you assemble the trifle, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
Conclusion:
This Lemon Delight Trifle is a delightful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, refreshing, and full of lemon flavor. The combination of the lemon cake, lemon curd, and whipped cream is simply irresistible. If you are looking for a dessert that will impress your guests, this Lemon Delight Trifle is the perfect choice.
