Ingredients

citrus whipped cream:

trifle:

  • 1 ¼ cup orange juice
  • 12 ounces jam like strawberry
  • 15-16 slices prepared pound cake or angel food cake
  • 4-5 cups fresh berries I used strawberries, raspberries, blueberries

equipment:

Instructions

  • CITRUS WHIPPED CREAM: Place the heavy whipping cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on the medium-low speed for 3-4 minutes or until soft peaks begin to form. Stop the mixer, add the powdered sugar and start the mixer on the stir setting until the powdered sugar is mixed in, continue to beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until the whipped cream thickens and holds its shape. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the prepared lemon curd carefully so the whipped cream doesn't deflate too much. Let cool for 1 hour in the refrigerator before assembling trifle.
  • ASSEMBLY: Combine the jam and ¼ cup orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to loosen the jam, mix with a spoon, set aside. Pour the remaining 1 cup of orange juice into a shallow baking dish. Do a super quick dip of the pound cake slices into the orange juice and place them in your trifle dish. You don't want the cake slices to be soaking wet just lightly moist. I used about 4-5 slices per layer to cover the bottom evenly. Then drizzle on ⅓ of the jam on top of the pound cake layer, followed by ⅓ of the whipped cream topping, and ⅓ of the mixed berries. Repeat the cake layer, jam, whipped cream, and berries until you end with the berries on the third layer. Let cool for several hours and ideally for 24 hours before serving.
