Ingredients

Berries:

1 pint blueberries
1 pint strawberries, hulled and cut into thick slices
2 pint raspberries
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Lemon Cream:

1 quart whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (11-ounce) jar lemon curd
1 cup store bought pound cake, slices 1/2-inch thick

Directions

Place the berries into a large bowl and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice. Lightly toss.

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 3 minutes. Take the berries off the heat and let cool; the mixture should thicken up as is cools.

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.

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 3 or 4 more layers, depending on the size of the bowl, finishing with a layer of lemon cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

..I made this for a group of friends 'end of summer' lunch today and everyone raved. The host would not let me take home the... left over portion because she wanted to serve it to her husband after dinner. It was a big hit. The only thing I would do differently is not to heat the berries in the sauce, just fold them in when it comes off the stove so they retain their firmness. I also had only 1 pint of whipping cream (not the called for quart) and it was more than enough to make 4 generous layers.....even had a little left over....so I think that item quantity is a mistake on the list of ingredients. ...try this...you will love it!

I saw Tyler make this on TV a few days ago, and decided to try it for when my friends came over today. Everyone loved it! I... ate every last bite, and I especially loved the lemon cream. It was easy to make, too. Thanks, Tyler!Read more

I've been making this for the past few years for our yearly family beach vacation, and it is AWESOME! I follow the recipe as... is and I can't think of a thing I would change! I was worried when it all didn't get eaten that it wouldn't be good the next day but was I mistaken! I wouldn't say better, but CERTAINLY no worse! Yummy!!! We are leaving in a week and I am making my grocery list for it now! Thanks Tyler.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Have made this several times and it doesn't stay around very long!! But while ready the reviews I noticed a lot of... complaints of the amount of cream, so I checked it out it the book of his and it only calls for 1 cup of heavy cream, cuz I never have left overs. Hope this helps. Keep it going Tyler haven't been disappointed yet!Read more

I threw a champagne tasting last weekend and brought this trifle -- it was a HUGE hit! It assembles quickly and all of the... flavors just come together so nicely. I went to three stores looking for lemon curd with no success. I substituted lemon yogurt to which I added additional lemon juice. So good on a hot day!Read more
