Specialty desserts,
such as the elegant English Trifle, can contain a whopping 600 calories per
serving. Rather than avoid these treats
altogether, it’s more sensible to eat them in moderation in lower-calorie forms. The Springtime English Trifle trims the
calories by substituting low-fat ingredients and using less sugar than the
traditional recipe.
Springtime English Trifle
1 qt. strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced (reserve some whole for garnish)
2 T. sugar
15 oz. angel food cake, crust trimmed,
cut into 1-inch cubes
3 T. Triple Sec or liqueur of your
choice (amaretto, Frangelico), divided
2 T. slivered almonds, divided
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) vanilla pudding mix,
prepared using 2 c. skim milk
In a large bowl, place the sliced strawberries and sprinkle with the sugar. Gently toss to coat.
Line the bottom of a
glass serving bowl with half of the cake
cubes. Sprinkle the cake with 1 ½ T. of
the liqueur.
Layer half the
strawberry mixture and 1 T. of the almonds on the cake cubes. Layer half of the prepared pudding over the
strawberries and almonds. Repeat the
layers using the remaining cake, liqueur, strawberries, almonds and pudding. Cover and chill for 3 to 4 hours. Garnish with the remaining whole
strawberries.
