Lemon curd and cream trifle

Emergency dessert in a flash! The lemon curd can be made in advance, and then it’s just a few minutes to put the trifle together.

Stove-top nectarine compote crumble

Great for those almost-too-soft stone fruit. Serve with plain double-cream yoghurt or ice cream. It also works well served for breakfast with yoghurt and granola.
