Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup water
Curd
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
Fruit and topping
4 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 16-ounce frozen pound cake, thawed
2 cups chilled whipping cream

Steps:

  • For syrup:
  • Combine sugar, lemon juice, and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 1 minute. Cover and chill.
  • For curd:
  • Whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Add butter and lemon peel. Stir over medium heat until curd thickens to pudding consistency, about 10 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Press plastic wrap onto surface of curd. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead.)
  • For fruit and topping:
  • Combine 2 baskets raspberries and 1/4 cup sugar in bowl. Mash berries coarsely with fork. Let stand until juices form, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut cake crosswise into 8 pieces. Cut each piece into 3 strips. Line bottom of 3-quart trifle bowl with 8 cake strips, trimming to fit. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons syrup; spread with 2/3 cup curd, then half of mashed berries. Repeat layering. Top with remaining cake, syrup, and curd. Cover; chill overnight.
  • Beat cream and 3 tablespoons sugar in bowl until peaks form; spread over trifle. Mound remaining berries in center.

This is from Bon Appetit. It uses a frozen pound cake to make it a little easier than their normal recipes. Start to make a day ahead as it needs to chill overnight. Time to make does not include that time!

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup water
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 pints fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons sugar
16 ounces frozen pound cake, thawed
2 cups chilled whipping cream

Steps:

  • For syrup: Combine sugar, lemon juice, and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 1 minute. Cover and chill.
  • For curd: Whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Add butter and lemon peel. Stir over medium heat until curd thickens to pudding consistency, about 10 minutes.

  • Cut cake crosswise into 8 pieces. Cut each piece into 3 strips. Line bottom of 3-quart trifle bowl with 8 cake strips, trimming to fit. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons syrup; spread with 2/3 cup curd, then half of mashed berries. Repeat layering. Top with remaining cake, syrup, and curd. Cover; chill overnight.
  • Beat cream and 3 tablespoons sugar in bowl until peaks form; spread over trifle. Mound remaining berries in center.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh berries will give your trifle the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen berries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Make sure your lemon curd is thick. The lemon curd should be thick enough to hold its shape when you spoon it into the trifle. If your lemon curd is too thin, it will make the trifle runny.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten whipped cream will be stiff and grainy. You want your whipped cream to be light and fluffy.
  • Layer the trifle carefully. Start with a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of raspberry filling, then a layer of lemon curd, and finally a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle dish.
  • Chill the trifle before serving. This will help the trifle set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Raspberry lemon trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your trifle tart or sweet, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give raspberry lemon trifle a try. You won't be disappointed!
