Our latest winner not only has a zest for life, she loves her microplane. The perfect combination during “Lemon Week!” Round of applause for our latest winner, Janice Elder!
Janice says, “I try to cook and eat with the seasons as much as possible, and I frequent farmer’s markets for the freshest and healthiest options. My favorite cooking tools are silicone spatulas, microplane zesters and great knives.”
Lemon Blueberry Individual Tiramisu Trifles
A great make ahead dessert–individual servings of blueberries with lady finger cookies and a creamy, lemon flavored sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 fresh lemons, juiced and zested
- 2 tbsp Limoncello liqueur
- 1 17.6 oz container plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup prepared lemon curd
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 30 ladyfingers
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Directions:
Combine lemon juice, reserving zest, and Limoncello, then set aside. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, blend together yogurt, lemon curd and sugar, beating until well blended. Cut each ladyfinger crosswise into 3 pieces. Arrange 5 ladyfinger pieces into each of 9 wine glasses or small bowls, then drizzle each serving with about 1 teaspoon Limoncello mixture. Spoon on 1 tablespoon of blueberries, then top with 2 tablespoons of yogurt mixture in each glass. Repeat layers, then sprinkle evenly with reserved lemon zest and a few fresh blueberries. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
Number of Servings: 9
