Lemon Cream Trifle

Can I Make Lemon Cream Trifle Ahead Of Time?

Sure! You can certainly get a head start on this dessert so it’s ready to assemble when you are. The lemon curd can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you make homemade angel food cake, it will last at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for a week. If making homemade whipped cream, whip it up when ready to put the dessert together.

How To Store Lemon Cream Trifle

Lemon Cream Trifle is best served within a day for the best results. However, you can store it, loosely covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the longer it is stored, the more soggy the cake will get.

Lemon Cream Trifle

Lemon Cream Trifle is a layered dessert made with cubes of angel food cake, whipped cream, and homemade lemon curd. Each refreshing and indulgent bite is full of lemon flavor with a lovely blend of textures.

Ingredients

▢1 9-inch angel food cake, cut into bite-size cubes (about 7 cups)▢1 ¼ cups lemon curd, storebought or homemade▢2 cups (476 g) heavy whipping cream▢½ cup (62.5 g) confectioners' sugar▢mint, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

To the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add heavy cream. Start mixing at the lowest speed, and then gradually increase the speed to medium until the cream starts to get thicker. (The gradual progression prevents you from spraying yourself with cream.)

When the cream starts to thicken, stop the mixer. Slowly add in the confectioners' sugar and then resume mixing again, starting with low speed and increasing to medium speed, and eventually moving to a high speed.

Mix on high until the cream thickens and starts to peak. Aim for soft peaks, or whipped cream that holds its shape briefly before falling back into the cream. Use the whipped cream immediately in the dessert.

Assembly

In a large trifle bowl, layer ⅓ of angel food cake cubes, ⅓ of the whipped cream mixture, and ⅓ lemon curd. Repeat layers two more times.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
