Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionBring cream, 1 cup sugar, and a pinch of kosher salt to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt.
Cook 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice.
Let cool slightly, then transfer to a medium bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto surface (this will help prevent a skin from forming).
Chill lemon cream until it has set up to a pudding-like consistency, at least 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Combine gluten-free flour, butter, brown sugar, basil, vanilla, and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl.
Using your fingers, work mixture until it comes together in small clumps.
Scatter crumble on a large parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown and slightly firm, 30–35 minutes.
Let cool and break into smaller pieces.
Mix in granola.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F.
Toss strawberries, smoked salt, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar on a clean rimmed baking sheet to combine.
Roast strawberries, tossing once, until they are juicy but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes.
Let cool slightly.
Just before serving, assemble trifles by spooning alternating layers of lemon cream, roasted strawberries, and granola crumble into 8–12-oz. glasses or jars, dividing evenly.
Top off with some mint and basil leaves.
Lemon cream can be made 2 days ahead.
Keep chilled.
