e.g. 6-8I love the look of layered foods and dishes…..almost everything in life benefits from layering and textures. This trifle is scrumptious and light all at the same time. If you like Lemon Curd, you will devour this lemon mousse. Couple with the sweet tart flavor of fresh berries such as strawberry, blueberry and raspberry and pound cake, it is a dessert worthy of starring at your finest dinner….with our without company. (My granddaughter claimed it was better than birthday cake—both servings!) It is a recipe that will some day find its’ way onto a Foodie Weekend menu.
