Lemon Trifle
Lemon trifle, here in handy individual glasses, is an easygoing recipe that combines cubes of fluffy cake, tangy lemon curd, and sweetened whipped cream ~ I'm pretty sure you've just found your new favorite summer dessert!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 5 cups white, yellow, or lemon cake, cut in small cubes. I used lemon chiffon cake, recipe here
- 1 cup lemon curd , homemade or store bought
- 1 1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Put a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of 4 glasses.
- Top each with a tablespoon (approximately) of lemon curd.
- Add a heaping tablepoon of whipped cream over the curd. Spread to cover the surface.
- Repeat the layers 2 more times, ending with a dollop of whipped cream. I like to sprinkle a little lemon zest on top as well because it looks so lemony and pretty.
- You can serve right away but I like to let them chill for a couple of hours, ideally. This allows the moisture from the curd and the whipped cream to soak into the cake a bit.
Notes
- Nutrition shown based on using 5 cups of homemade lemon chiffon cake.
