1. In a bowl, combine the custard, mascarpone, and 50ml of lemon curd.
2. Next, place half of the raspberries in a small container. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and the icing sugar. Using a hand-held blender, pulse to a purée. At this stage, you can add a drizzle of Grand Marnier liqueur for a stronger dessert.
3. Pass the purée through a fine sieve for a smooth result and set it aside.
4. Now, start to build the trifle. Lay a layer of strawberries on the base of a trifle bowl. Drizzle some raspberry purée around the edges of the bowl and some of the leftover lemon curd, then add a few spoons of the custard mixture.
5. Dip a few pieces of sponge in the cooled yet still liquid strawberry jelly for a few seconds to slightly soften the sponge. Place them over the custard mixture. Layer some more fruit and custard with more sponge until the bowl is nearly full.
6. Set it in the fridge for a few hours, covered with cling film.
7. Apply a final layer of custard on top. Decorate with crumbled meringue, more strawberries and raspberries, and a few leaves of mint if desired. Serve within a few hours.
