English Berry Trifle Recipe

Name: English Berry Trifle
Total time: 350 min
Yield: 16 servings
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 4 large eggs; 0.33333334 cup lemon juice; 1 tablespoon lemon peel; 16 ounce pound cake; 0.25 cup sherry; 2 pints strawberries; 0.25 cup strawberry preserves; 0.25 cup sugar; 1 cup sugar; 0.5 cup butter; 2 cups whipped cream

This English berry trifle layers pound cake, fresh strawberries, and a bright lemon curd, all topped with clouds of whipped cream. It's a dessert that requires some patience, as it needs ample time to chill and allow the flavors to meld. The lemon curd is made from scratch, cooked until it reaches a thick, spoon-coating consistency, providing a tart counterpoint to the sweet berries and cake. While the active prep is relatively quick, plan for several hours of refrigeration to let everything set properly.
