Delicious Fruity Low Syn Skinny Trifle - a perfect summer time treat
We have had some glorious summer weather here the last few days and so I really fancied a summery fruity treat to enjoy while sat out in the garden.
I don't know why but summer time always makes me crave jelly, probably because it is nice and cold and fruit when out of the fridge.
However rather than just make up a bowl of jelly, I decided on this lovely Skinny Trifles, which are perfect for enjoying while sat out in the garden.
Traditionally Trifle is Jelly with sponge fingers, thick creamy custard and fresh cream. My mum made the most amazing trifles, occasionally though she would add Sherry, but truth be told, I hated it with sherry and wasn't keen on the sponge fingers either. I much prefer just jelly, custard and cream with a few sprinkles on top.
As these are a skinny trifle version, I've skipped the custard and instead gone for a layer of banana yoghurt and berries. It's a perfect combination, lovely and fruity and refreshing for a warm summers day.
I make up the jelly and then divid by 4 and pour into glasses and allow it to set in the fridge.
I love to use stemless wine glasses like these on Amazon , as they are perfect for making desserts like these Skinny Trifles and the look so pretty.
When you are ready to enjoy one of these skinny trifles, you can just add the remaining layers as those are pretty quick to do. I recommend adding the other toppings when you are ready to enjoy rather than make them all up in advance, that way they are lovely and fresh.
I used berries for the fruity layer, but any fruit of choice would work, oranges, ripe pear, even banana. Then top with some light aerosol cream which is low in syns and a few sprinkles or you could add some grated chocolate instead. Traditionally trifle has a layer of custard, but I wanted to keep these as low syn as possible, which is why I opted for the yoghurt, it is much more refreshing too as a summer treat.

I copied your inspiration and put the yoghurt in first with a broken up meringue nest through it, then black grapes, then jelly topped with the rest of the yogurt, the meringue next is 3 syns which I had left to use, it was lovely, thank you once again for your recipes and inspiration.
