Supplier recipe: Lemon Curd Trifle with Lemon Short Bread

Serves 6

**Prep time 15 mins

1. Slice the brioche or Madeira cake about 1cm thick and lay in the bottom of your serving dish filling all the gaps. Drizzle with the Limoncello.
2. Whip the Kerrymaid Whipping to soft peaks. Gently fold in the custard and add in the lemon zest, vanilla extract or paste and sift in the icing sugar.
3. Spoon over the lemon curd to coat the cake or brioche and generously spoon on the sweetened cream to the rim of the dish.
4. Sprinkle on the toasted flaked almonds, tear over the mint leaves and drizzle with the runny honey just before serving.

Method

2. Add the lemon zest and vanilla bean paste.
3. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix together to form a dough that comes away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Flour your surface and roll out dough to 2mm thick. Cut into fingers 4cm x 6cm and place onto a greased baking tray or one which is lined with parchment.
