After two weeks of watching some brilliant tennis at Wimbledon and my favorite Roger Federer playing ‘tennis from another planet’, I decided to make a special trifle in honour of the players and the tournament. Wimbledon has all these great traditions and this year they added to that by the new outfits designed by Ralph Lauren, stylish and retro. And Roger, showing off his specially designed jacket, gave a statement that you can win in style. But of course Wimbledon is also about the strawberries and cream. This inspired me to make a trifle, of course with these two key ingredients.

How to make the Wimbledon Trifle
First you make a large meringue by beating 4 egg whites to soft peaks and adding 220 grams of fine caster sugar (one tbps at the time). Bake in the oven at approx 140 C for 1,5 hours, leave to cool in the oven with the door ajar. Then you build the trifle by starting with a layer of cake soaked in limoncello on the bottom of a glass bowl. Add a layer of fresh strawberries. After this, a layer of lovely sweet meringue broken in to pieces. Then add a layer of whipped cream, combined with Greek yoghurt (500 ml of cream and half the amount of yoghurt). Again a layer of strawberries, meringue and cream. Top it of with fresh raspberries.

Enjoy this trifle that has a bit of sour at the bottom (where the losers of the tournament reside) and more sweetness as you fight your way to the top were the sweetest raspberries await you. The little pieces of meringue symbolize the victories as you progress in the game. All the while keeping an eye on the calories, like a true sportsman, by adding some yoghurt to the cream (in fact it tastes even better I think than just the cream, it gives it a nice freshness that goes perfect with the sugary meringue)
