BLACKBERRY & LEMON MERINGUE TRIFLE
Serves 16 Prep 30 mins (+ cooling & chilling time) Cooking 1 hour 50 mins
500g mascarpone
300ml thickened cream
⅓ cup (80ml) Cointreau liqueur or orange-flavoured liqueur (optional)
1 cup (320g) blackberry jam
300g fresh or frozen blackberries
LEMON SOUR CREAM CAKE
125g butter, softened
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1 tbs finely grated lemon rind
2 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs
1 cup (150g) plain flour
1 cup (150g) self-raising flour
300g sour cream
2 tbs lemon juice
LEMON CURD
2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
½ cup (125ml) lemon juice
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
100g butter, chopped
4 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs, lightly whisked
MERINGUES
2 Coles Australian Free Range Egg whites
½ cup (110g) caster sugar
1. To make the lemon sour cream cake, preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm round cake pan and line the base and side with baking paper.
2. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the combined flour, sour cream and lemon juice, in batches, stirring well after each addition. Spoon into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 45 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
3. To make the lemon curd, combine the lemon rind, lemon juice, sugar, butter and egg in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 mins or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge to chill.
4. To make the meringues, preheat oven to 100°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Use an electric mixer to whisk egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tbs at a time, whisking well after each addition. Continue whisking until sugar is completely dissolved. Place in a piping bag fitted with a 1cm fluted nozzle. Pipe meringues onto the lined tray. Bake for 1 hour or until dry to the touch. Turn the oven off. Leave meringues in the oven, with the door ajar, for 1 hour to cool completely.
5. Use an electric mixer to whisk the mascarpone, cream and half the lemon curd in a bowl until soft peaks form.
6. Use a large serrated knife to split the cake. Place 1 cake layer in the base of a glass serving bowl. Drizzle with half the liqueur, if using. Spread with half the blackberry jam. Spoon over half the mascarpone mixture and half the remaining lemon curd. Sprinkle with half the blackberries and meringues. Continue layering with remaining cake, liqueur, jam, mascarpone mixture, lemon curd, blackberries and meringues.

3 Ingredient Homemade Strawberry Syrup ???? | How to make Strawberry Syrup for Cocktails, Pancakes
strawberry syrup recipe ~ ????
Jars:
Sieve:
Granulated sugar:
Measuring cups:
Glass I used:
Ingredients:
- 456g/ 1lb strawberries
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
I used a 354mL/ 12oz jar to store it. I had like 2-3 tbsp of leftover syrup after filling up the bottle.
Notes:
1. If your strawberries are sweet, lower the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup, taste test and add more if needed. The strawberries I had were sour.
2. Make sure to remove the white foam on the top.
3. Do NOT mash the strawberries at any cost. Use the pulp/ leftover strawberries in smoothies.
4. It will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge, given it is stored in a clean airtight jar.
5. Feel free to cook the syrup for longer after adding sugar if you want a thicker syrup for cheesecakes/waffles/pancakes etc.. but I liked the consistency I showed because I wanted to make drinks with it.
6. For the funnel sub, I just used a piping bag- cut the top half and used the bottom half with the end (the piping tip cut out) and pushed inside the jar and the rest folded outside.
Recipe for 1 glass of Strawberry Lemonade:
- simply take juice of 1/2 lemon or about 1.5 to 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice.
- add 1/2 cup water & lots of ice.
- add syrup as per your taste and mix.
