Lemon-Blueberry Trifle Recipe
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 pints fresh blueberries, picked over for stems
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 2 1/2 cups lemon curd
- One 10- to 12-ounce store-bought pound cake or homemade from your favorite recipe
- Bring the water, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of the sugar to a boil an a small heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Let cool.
- In a food processor, process 2 pints of the blueberries and 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining 2 pints of berries.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip 1 1/2 cups of the heavy cream until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the lemon curd so you dont deflate the cream.
- Cut the pound cake into 12 slices, arrange on a baking sheet, and brush each lightly with the sugar syrup.
- Cut each slice into 6 cubes.
- Tightly arrange one-third of the cubes in the bottom of a trifle bowl or large souffle dish.
- Spread one-third of the lemon curd mixture on top of the cake cubes, smoothing with a rubber spatula.
- Spoon one-third of the blueberry mixture over the lemon curd.
- Repeat twice, so that you have three layers each of cake, lemon curd, and blueberries.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
- When ready to serve, in a small bowl, using an electric mixer, whip together the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Spread over the top of the trifle or use a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip to pipe it decoratively.
- Serve immediately.
