yield: Makes 16 servings
Syrup 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup fresh tangerine juice 1/4 cup Finlandia Tangerine Vodka 1/4 cup water
Curd 4 large eggs 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup fresh tangerine juice 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon grated tangerine peel
Fruit and topping 4 cups of tangerine segments, peeled and de-seeded 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar 1 16-ounce frozen pound cake, thawed 2 cups chilled whipping cream
Preparation
For syrup: Combine sugar, tangerine juice, and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer one minute. Add Finlandia Tangerine Vodka. Cover and chill.
For curd: Whisk eggs, sugar, and tangerine juice in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Add butter and tangerine peel. Stir over medium heat until curd thickens to pudding consistency, about 10 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Press plastic wrap onto surface of curd. Chill until cold, at least four hours. (Can be made three days ahead.)
For fruit and topping: Combine tangerine segments and 1/4 cup sugar in bowl. Mash berries coarsely with fork. Let stand until juices form, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
Cut cake crosswise into eight pieces. Cut each piece into three strips. Line bottom of three-quart trifle bowl with eight cake strips, trimming to fit. Drizzle with three tablespoons syrup; spread with 2/3 cup curd, then half of tangerines. Repeat layering. Top with remaining cake, syrup, and curd. Cover; chill overnight.
Beat cream and three tablespoons sugar in bowl until peaks form; spread over trifle. Mound remaining tangerine segments in center. |
