Description

This Low-Calorie Trifle-In-A-Glass is a refreshing and elegant dessert that balances sweet and tart flavors without the heaviness of traditional trifles. Layers of fluffy angel food cake, vibrant fresh raspberries and blackberries, and a smooth homemade raspberry puree create a visually stunning treat. A splash of cream sherry adds a sophisticated depth of flavor, while crushed gingersnaps provide a delightful textural crunch. Topped with light nondairy whipped topping, this recipe is perfect for summer gatherings, light dinners, or when you crave something sweet but want to keep calories in check. It comes together quickly with minimal effort, making it an ideal choice for last-minute entertaining or a simple weekend indulgence.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Gently wash and drain the fresh raspberries and blackberries; set aside.
  2. In a food processor or blender, process the thawed frozen raspberries until smooth, about 10 seconds.
  3. For a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
  4. Stir the granulated sugar into the raspberry puree until dissolved; set aside.
  5. Spoon approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the raspberry puree into the bottom of each of the 8 dessert glasses.
  6. Add angel food cake cubes to the glasses, filling them about halfway.
  7. Drizzle the cream sherry or fruit liqueur evenly over the cake cubes.
  8. Drizzle an additional 3 to 4 tablespoons of the remaining raspberry puree over the cake in each glass.
  9. Fill the glasses with the fresh raspberries and blackberries.
  10. Top each glass with a dollop of light nondairy whipped topping.
  11. Sprinkle the crushed gingersnaps over the whipped topping.
  12. Serve immediately.
