Strawberry Trifle

Submitted by Charishma_Ramchandani

"This trifle is much lighter than traditional trifles but equally as good. It uses yoghurt and fresh fruits providing a much healthier version. You can substitute the cream topping for a low fat version. The frozen ready whipped cream works quite well with this recipe too."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 medium sponge cake (either homemade or bought, a packet mix does fine for this recipe)
• 1 packet topping mix or 1 packet whipping cream
• 2 (6 ounce) boxes non-fat strawberry yogurt
• 1 package strawberry, sliced
• 3 kiwi fruits, sliced
• 1⁄4 cup toasted slivered almonds

directions

1. Cut the cake vertically into halves.
2. Slice the cake into fingers.
3. Prepare topping mix as per instructions on the packet but using skimmed milk, or if using fresh cream, whip until stiff.
4. Layer half the cake pieces, yoghurt, whipped topping, strawberries and kiwi in a 2 quart serving bowl.
5. Repeat layers and sprinkle with almonds.
6. Garnish with whole strawberries, if desired.
7. Refrigerate for atleast 2 hours.
8. For an alternative taste, grate the rind of an orange and a lemon and sprinkle over the sponge.
9. Use orange flavoured yoghurt and top with tinned mandarines instead of strawberries.

Delightful! Strawberries in a cloud of cream and yogurt layered with cake. Using store bought cake makes this a quick and easy. I made my own cake (white), used whipped cream and omitted the kiwi. A wonderful way to use fresh strawberries!

This is by far the best dessert I've ever eaten! So light, airy, delicious and, above all, easy to throw together! I'll be making this recipe often. Will try it with raspberries & raspberry yogurt next time for a change. Thanks Char!!!!

This made a beautifuil and luscious dessert. I used purchased cake and real whipped cream. We got the best strawberries from a local strawberry farm which made this dessert come to life. I am so glad I discovered this recipe because I will be making it all summer long. Thanks.

This dessert was so lovely. I used purchased sponge cake because mine never turn out well and I don't enjoy baking all that much. I did whip up some fresh cream and added a touch of sugar. I left off the kiwi because they didn't look that good at our grocery store. The end result was a bowl full of heaven. The cream, cake, yogurt and juicy berries went together perfectly for a scrumptious, no overly sweet dessert. Thanks Char, for a wonderful summer dessert.
