Roasted Strawberry Trifle With Lemon Cream

Ingredients

• 3 cups heavy cream
• 1 ¼ cups sugar, divided
• Kosher salt
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup flour
• 5 tbs unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
• ¼ cup (packed) light brown sugar
• 1 tbs finely chopped basil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup granola
• 2lbs strawberries, hulled, halved if large
• 1 tsp sea salt
• Torn mint and basil leaves

Preparation

1. Bring cream, 1 cup sugar, and pinch of kosher salt to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt.
2. Cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice.
3. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a medium bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Chill lemon cream until it has set up to a pudding-like consistency, at least 12 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine flour, butter and brown sugar, bail and vanilla and a pinch of kosher salt to a medium bowl. Using your finder, work mixture until it comes together in small clumps. Bake until golden brown and slightly firm – 30 minutes.
5. Let cool and break into smaller pieces. Mix in granola.
6. Increase oven temp to 425. Toss strawberries, salt and remaining ¼ cup sugar on a clean rimmed baking sheet to combine.
7. Roast strawberries, tossing once, until they are juicy but still hold their shape, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
8. Assemble trifles by spooning alternating layers of lemon cream, roasted strawberries, and granola crumble into 8-12 oz. glasses.
9. Top with some mint and basil leaves.
