This is a pretty and scrumptious dessert! You can buy the lemon curd and strawberry sauce in the grocery store -or you can make your own. My mother use to make her own lemon-curd. She refered to it as lemon cheese, because she said when the bubbles burst they looked like holes in cheese. She used hers for pie, cake filling and in-between cookies. I love trifles, and this is a really good one. I'll take and post a photograph when I can use both hands/arms (Broke wrist, Ulna, Radius and bones on top of hand - Ouch!)

Step 3

To assemble: In the bottom of your trifle bowl place slices (about 1/3 inch thick) of the pound cake. Fill in any gaps with extra pieces of the cake. Pour half of the strawberry sauce over the pound cake. Top the strawberry sauce with half of the sliced strawberries.
Step 4

Next pour half of the lemon curd over the strawberries. Top with half of the whipped cream. Repeat the layers -ending with the whipped cream -top with fresh strawberries.
