• Stir sugar and water for simple syrup together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Let cool, about 20 minutes, then stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.

• Combine the mascarpone cheese, 3/4 cup lemon curd, and lemon zest in a bowl. Divide the cheese mixture among the jars, pressing down with the back of a spoon to create an even layer. Spoon the remaining 1 cup lemon curd over the cheese mixture to create another layer. Top with the raspberries, then sprinkle with chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Top with whipped cream before serving.

• Mash half the raspberries in a bowl with a fork, and stir in the vanilla and limoncello. Spoon over the sponge. Top with more halved or whole raspberries - saving some to finish - and a scattering of the pistachios.
• Stir most of the remaining pistachios into the custard, then spoon over the fruit and sponge.
• Whip the cream and sugar in a large bowl until thick and billowy, and holding soft peaks. Spoon over the trifles. Top with the reserved pistachios, a swirl of lemon curd and the remaining raspberries.
