How to make it
The Syrup
- In a small sauce pan heat the water, lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the Almond Extract.
For the Filling
- Whip the heavy cream in a medium size bowl until it is stiff and peaks slightly. Set it in the fridge. In a separate bowl mix the pudding mixture with the milk. Beat until pudding consistency, let sit for 5 minutes. Fold the pudding and vanilla into the whipped cream until blended. Do not over mix. Filling should be smooth, creamy and not so thick. Let sit in the fridge.
Assembly
- Cut the pound cake into slices and then brush each side with the syrup. Cut the slices into 3/4 inch chunks. Cut strawberries into slices. Make a wall of strawberry slices, vertical, around the bottom layer of the trifle dish. Pile in the pound cake. Use as little of as many chunks as you'd like. Squish down the chunks slightly with your hand. Put one layer of strawberry slices around the top of the pound cake. Pour in half of the filling, smooth out with small spatula. Add one layer of strawberry slices on top of the filling. Add blueberries. Add more pound cake. Pour the rest of the filling on top, smooth. Halve strawberries to make a two ring layer on top (see photo). Add blueberries to center and sprinkle around top as desired. In two small microwave safe bowls melt the two chocolates, again as little or as much as desired, and drizzle over top. Keep in refrigerator until serving. Enjoy!
