INGREDIENTS
A Berry Delicious Trifle
A trifle typically consists of a plain
sponge or pound cake, often soaked
with wine or a liqueur, and topped
with layers of preserves, custard,
and cream. This particular recipe
makes a spectacularly delicious
trifle, which is both refreshing and
light. Well, light as long as you
don't eat too much.

1. Place the berries into a large bowl and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice. Lightly
toss.
2. 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 three minutes. Take the berries off the heat and
let cool; the mixture should thicken up as is cools.
3. 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.
4. 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 three or four more layers,
depending on the size of the bowl, finishing with a layer of lemon cream. Cover and
refrigerate until ready to serve.
