Blueberry Lemon Curd Tiramisu
SERVES 8 – 10
The idea for this recipe came from an old magazine, I have made a few alterations to make it easier and not as rich by taking out the mascarpone cheese.
Ingredients
1 packet sponge finger biscuits
2 cups lemon curd (store-brought or we love Stephanie Alexander’s homemade lemon curd recipe
500ml lightly whipped cream (very soft peaks)
2 punnets fresh blueberries or 1 pkt frozen berries
¾ cup of gin
Method
1. Gently mix lemon curd and cream together (to make it richer, add 200g of mascarpone cheese). 2. Using a large glass bowl begin to assemble tiramisu, starting with sponge fingers.
3. Dip sponge fingers into gin (very quickly, you don’t want them to soak, just be covered) put a layer
of sponge fingers on the bottom of the bowl.
4. Cover with lemon curd and cream mixture, sprinkle with a few blueberries and repeat until your top
layer is blueberries.
5. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
6. Serve with sprigs of fresh mint and fresh blueberries.
*Serving Suggestion* This dessert can be made in individual glasses or in a showstopper dessert in a trifle bowl
