Receta Gingerbread Trifle with Lemon Curd & Whipped Cream (can be *'Tipsy' if desired)
Add a photoLot's of LEMONS! This is a crowd pleaser! The picture shows 2 layers - I did 3 layers.
To take pressure off I made the Gingerbread cake 2 days before (plastic wrapped it & refrigerated) & the Lemon Curd the day before & refrigerated that too.
2 hours before the party I whipped the cream & assembled the Trifle & kept in fridge til serving.
*I decided to get crazy & made 'Candied Lemon Peel' to decorate the top = I found recipe on Google for that.
Total Time: 2 hours for Trifle
Hands On Time: 1 hour
Yield: 18 servings

- Instructions:
- * Prepare the Gingerbread cake according to the instructions below these directions*. Cool completely. Can make a day or 2 before - wrap & refrigerate.
- For the Lemon Curd:
- In the bowl of a food processor with a steel blade, add lemon zest and sugar. Pulse until the zest is finely minced into the sugar. In a separate bowl, cream the butter, and beat in the sugar/lemon mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, then the lemon juice and salt. Mix until combined. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until thickened (at about 170°, just below simmer), about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool or refrigerate until ready to use. I made this the day before.
- For the Whipped Cream:
- Place the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a cold metal bowl, and whip until soft peaks form.
- To assemble the Trifle:
- Cut the cake into 1-inch cubes. In a trifle bowl or a 2-1/2-quart glass serving bowl, layer one-third of the cake cubes, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of whiskey. Top with half of the lemon curd, then one-third of the whipped cream. Repeat the layers, ending with the last of the whipped cream on the final layer of cake. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving.
