Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cut your pound cake into 1 inch cubes.
  • Place a few of the cake cubes into the bottom of the glass,
  • Add a layer of whipped cream or Cool Whip.
  • Add a layer of lemon curd or lemon pie filling
  • Add more cake cubes and repeat layers to the top of the glass.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream/Cool Whip.
  • Sprinkle the top with lemon candies, cookies or lemon zest.
  • Refrigerate and serve.
  • ------If you want to make a larger recipe for a trifle bowl, just double your ingredients. Since bowls come in so many sizes, you'll just have to use your own judgement as to how much you'll need for your bowl.------
  • *Try mixing cream cheese in with your lemon curd for a creamier consistency.
  • *Marscapone cheese also makes a great layer.
  • If you like Limoncello, you can add a few drops over your cake cubes and drizzle a teaspoonful over the finally topping.

  • Trifles are similar to icebox" cakes without the refrigeration time that it takes to "cure" an icebox cake. You can turn your favorite icebox recipe into a trifle! Tiramisu recipes can also be used for more layering ideas for your trifle recipe.
  • Parfaits are also like trifles EXCEPT parfaits have more layers of wet ingredients than do trifles. Add some cake or cookies to your favorite parfait recipe and you have a trifle.
This is to show you what a trifle will look like in different sized glasses.   Close
