My desire for a classic trifle without sacrificing calories or Slimming World guidelines presented me with a dilemma: should I use custard or sponge? I decided to cut calories by using a lot of quick strawberries in place of the sponge, which was a surprisingly good decision. I was shocked to learn that even the seemingly innocent squirty cream had its drawbacks.
About squirty cream, is it spray cream or what? I went on a virtual hunt through Tesco's online store because of the naming mystery. But the jelly, which is positioned at a pleasing incline for extra visual appeal, is the true star of the show here. I'm not sure why, but let's be honest: who doesn't enjoy a presentation that is both attractive and distinctive?
Here's a professional suggestion: Make it as usual, but during the chilling process, tilt your trifle glasses to get the ideal jelly slope. The outcome? A sophisticated touch to the presentation of your dessert thanks to this cleverly angled jelly.
Let's move on to the cream—or spray if you'd rather. I went with Tesco's lighter squirty cream, which only costs 1.5 Syns per 12.5g serving. Fortunately, there are alternatives available from Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury, and Asda that will allow you to maintain your Slimming goals without sacrificing flavour.
Although I made this trifle with raspberries and raspberry jelly, you could definitely use strawberries instead. Frozen fruit also works well, but be aware that it takes at least two hours for the jelly to set, so prepare ahead of time for a faultless, well-liked dessert.

23g (1/2 sachet) Hartleys Raspberry Jelly Without Sugar
60g Devon Custard with Ambrosia Light
