To make the lemon curd: Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium-low heat
3
Combine the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a metal or glass heat-resistant bowl and whisk until smooth
4
Set the bowl over the simmering water, without letting the bottom touch, and continue to whisk
5
Keep working-out that arm and whisk it vigorously for a good 10 minutes, until the curd has doubled in volume and is very thick and yellow
6
Don't let it boil
7
Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the butter, a couple of chunks at a time, until melted
8
Refrigerate until the custard is cold and firm
9
To build the trifle: put the berries in a mixing bowl and toss them together so they are evenly distributed
10
Fold the whipped cream into the chilled lemon curd to lighten it up into a mousse
11
Line a glass trifle bowl with pieces of pound cake to fit
12
Drizzle or brush the cake with the Limoncello, spoon a layer of the lemon curd over the cake, and then a layer of mixed berries
13
Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, the last layer looks best if it's the berries

Chill before serving

Garnish with fresh mint
