Ingredients
- 1 pound cake cut into chunks
- 1 cup strawberries hulled and thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Limoncello or another liqueur or orange juice
- 1 cup pastry cream or pudding
- 1 cup chilled cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup amaretti cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Place the sliced strawberries in a small bowl with the sugar and the liqueur (or orange juice). Stir it around and set aside. Let the berries soak up the flavor.
- Cut up the pound cake. If you don’t have pound cake, you could use lady finger cookies.
- Whip the cream until soft and fluffy; set aside.
- Make the pastry cream (or pudding); set aside.
- Layer the strawberries on the bottom of your trifle bowl.
- Place the pieces of cut up poundcake on top of the berries.
- Spoon on the pastry cream (or pudding)and spread on top of the pound cake.
- Spoon on the whipped cream and spread it evenly around.
- Chill for at least one hour. Before serving, sprinkle on the the crushed amaretti cookies.
Notes
- Amaretti cookies must go on right before serving — they soften and lose their crunch within minutes in contact with cream.
- Swap pound cake for ladyfinger cookies for a more traditional trifle base.
- To keep alcohol-free, use orange juice in place of Limoncello.
- Store: Refrigerate (without amaretti) up to 1 day. Add cookies right before serving.
