Cool, refreshing Mini Citrus and Cream Trifles offer a subtle, but welcome contrast to some of the heavier dessert treats normally served at a party.
Ingredients
- 1 cup superfine sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 red or pink grapefruits
- 8 oranges
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 30 ladyfingers
- Orange slices, optional
Instructions
- In a small pan, combine sugar and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Boil until sugar has completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and set over an ice bath to cool to room temperature.
- Use a chef's knife to peel grapefruits and oranges. Holding fruit over a large bowl, cut in between membranes and release fruit slices into bowl, catching any juice in the bowl as you go. Pour lemon syrup over fruit and stir until combined.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form.
- In a large bowl, use hands to break up ladyfingers into roughly 1-inch pieces. Set up 10 8-oz. glasses. Divide 1/2 of ladyfingers among glasses. Top with 1/2 of citrus salad and 1/2 of whipped cream. Repeat, adding another layer of ladyfingers, citrus salad and whipped cream. Garnish each glass with a thin orange slice, if desired, and serve.
