No-bake berry trifle is an easy, yet impressive-looking, layered berry-filled dessert. Buy a premade angel food cake or pound cake, whip the cream, and toss the berries with sugar. Layer them in a beautiful clear bowl, and you’ve got a gorgeous dish. It’s casual enough for picnics but beautiful enough to finish off a fancy dinner.
Drizzling a lemon glaze over a dessert is an easy way to dress it up and add a bit of freshness, interest, and extra flavor. This easy lemon glaze recipe is made with only three ingredients: confectioners' (or powdered) sugar, milk, and fresh lemon juice or lemon extract. It's perfect for pound cake, rum cake, Bundt cake, coffee cake, sweet rolls, and cookies.
Making lemon glaze from scratch allows you to adapt the taste and consistency to any baked good. For instance, if you want it a little thicker, add a bit more sugar, or you can give it extra flavor with more lemon juice or switch to another type of citrus. Citrus glazes are especially good with other fruits, and lemon is particularly delicious with blueberry and raspberry goodies.
