Ingredients
For the lemon posset:
- 600 ml fresh double cream (heavy cream in US)
- 180 g sugar
- 75 ml lemon juice about 1½ lemon
- zest of 2 lemons
For the trifle:
- 6 ladyfingers or 6 oz (170 g) sponge cake
- 500 ml strawberry jelly made to packet instructions (Jell-O in US)
- 300 g strawberries roughly chopped
- 10 Amaretti biscuits crumbled
- 500 ml fresh double cream
Instructions
For the lemon posset:
- Place the cream in a saucepan with the sugar over low heat, and stir, until the sugar has melted. Bring to a simmer and let it bubble for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Transfer in a large container and chill for at least 3 hrs, or up to 24 hrs.
Cup of Yum
For the trifle:
- Line the bottom of a trifle bowl or glasses with the ladyfingers or sponge cake in a nice even layer.
- Add a thick layer of chopped strawberries over the ladyfingers, then pour just enough jelly mixture to cover the strawberries. Transfer the bowl (or glasses) in the fridge for at least 3 hours to let the jelly set completely.
- Once set, spoon a thick layer of lemon posset over the jelly layer, and top with crumbled amaretti.
- In a large bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form then spoon this over the top of the lemon posset and amaretti trifle.
- Decorate with fresh strawberries and amaretti crumble and serve.
Notes
- The Petite Cook's Top Tip:
- You can dip the ladyfingers for a few seconds in sherry, cassis, or amaretto liqueur for extra flavor.
- Prepare the jelly as per packet instructions, then make sure it's completely cool before use.
- You can make the lemon posset a day in advance and store it in the fridge until needed.
- You can make the whipped cream one hour in advance, and spoon it on top of the trifle just before serving.
- You can use shop-bought amaretti or make homemade amaretti (the crunchy ones) a few days in advance
- To make it similar to the winning Platinum Pudding Competition trifle substitute the ladyfingers with store-bought lemon swiss roll, but keep the amaretti, strawberries, and lemon posset, they work actually amazing all together!
