Christmas Lemon Curd & Amaretto Trifle

A rich, easy to make trifle that sums up exactly the taste of Christmas!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings 6 -8

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Crunchy Almond Biscuits - I used Cantunicci Italian Biscuits
  • 4 tbsp Amaretto Liqueur or maybe I slipped and put 1 more in!
  • 1 jar Good Quality Lemon Curd 340g I used Mackays
  • 1 tub approx 284ml Double Cream - Whipped so it is quite thick
  • 2 Meringue Nests or 8 Mini Meringues - Shop Bought are fine
  • To garnish:
  • Handful of toasted Chopped Almonds and/or Caramelised Lemon Rind

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, lay the biscuits out flat and pour over the amaretto.
  • Allow to sit for a couple of minutes, then crush with a fork until rough crumb mixture
  • Take half of the biscuit mixture and lay flat in the bottom of your trifle bowl (I know my bowl is much too big!)
  • Mix together the Lemon Curd and the Whipped cream until well combined.
  • Spread half of the Lemon cream mixture over the biscuits.
  • Crumble over the Meringue so it forms a thin layer over the lemon cream.
  • Crumble over the remaining biscuit mixture.
  • Spread over the remaining Lemon Cream.
  • Toast the almonds in a small frying pan and use to decorate the trifle - adds a really lovely crunch and smoky taste.
  • Decorate with Caramelised Lemon Rind if you have any.
  • Leave in the fridge for at least one hour.
