Get Your Chef On ~ Lemon!!

Hi guys!  How we doin'??

I'm so excited to be a part of a fun series called:  Get Your Chef On.  This month, my absolute favorite flavor ever... Lemon!! 




 
 

So, over the weekend {with the help of Drew} we came up with this SUPER yummy and SUPER simple trifle.  
All you need: 
1 pkg Pecan Sandies cookies, crushed.
1 jar lemon curd.
1 16 oz container whipped cream cheese. 
2 cups heavy whipping cream.
1/8 cup sugar. 
Juice of 1 lemon. 
In one bowl combine the lemon curd and cream cheese, use the lemon juice to thin out.  You need to be able to spread it over the crushed cookies. 
In your mixer or with a hand mixer whip the sugar and cream until fluffy and marvelous.  
Then, basically layer the cookies, curd and cream in a trifle bowl.  Sprinkle some cookie and grate some lemon rind on top to make it all purty. 




This is so tasty.  In every bite you get the zing of the lemon, the sweetness of the cream and the soft crunch of the cookie.  Delish!





I wonder what the next challenge will be! Click on the button above and sign up to join in the fun!

You KNOW you want to!!  

XOXO

    Trifle is my favorite dessert of all time. I don't bother with a trifle dish and just use whatever i have that's pretty. I have to be careful, though, and not make it too often because I love it so much!

    My mouth is literally watering right now. I have everything for this recipe except the Pecan Sandies, which are my second favorite store bought cookie (second to Mother's Taffy cookies). This sounds like the best excuse ever to go buy some cookies!! For realsies, I can't wait to make your trifle. I have a trifle bowl on my birthday list. Mike has been instructed to follow through on that request. I may have been a little aggressive about the importance of me having a trifle bowl. haha. Thanks SO SO much for joing GYCO! We hope you'll be back for round 2 in July.
