🍒Bakewell trifles🍒
Did you know that it’s National Bakewell tart day tomorrow (11th August) why not try these out for some Bakewell flavours.
These pretty two-in-one puds come with a big old dollop of nostalgia! The recipe was taken from Slimming Worldʼs Food for the Soul cookbook – itʼs packed with more than 60 deliciously soothing, spirit-lifting dishes
🍒Ingredients 🍒
⭐️2 medium eggs
⭐️1 level tsp sweetener granules
⭐️2 level tbsp self-raising flour
⭐️1 tsp almond extract
⭐️1 level tbsp raspberry jam
⭐️10 fresh cherries, halved and stoned, plus ⭐️4 whole cherries to decorate (or use raspberries)
⭐️11.5g sachet sugar-free raspberry jelly crystals
⭐️4 tbsp plain quark
⭐️250g low-fat custard
⭐️160g pot fat-free no-added sugar cherry yogurt
⭐️10g flaked almonds, toasted, to decorate
🍒Method 🍒
⭐️Get your oven warmed up to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.
⭐️Put the eggs and sweetener in a bowl over a pan of boiling water and whisk with an electric hand whisk for 5 minutes or until the eggs have tripled in volume. Take the bowl off the heat and sieve the flour over the top. Using a metal spoon and a figure-of-eight motion, fold the flour and the almond extract into the mixture, then spoon it into a small non-stick loaf tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden, then leave to cool in the tin.
⭐️Halve the sponge lengthways and spread with the jam, then cut the sponge into small cubes and arrange in 4 tall glasses. Divide the halved cherries between the glasses, too.
⭐️Make up the jelly with 300ml boiling water and put to one side until it’s cooled to room temperature, making sure it doesn’t start to set. Divide between the glasses, then chill for 1 hour or until completely set.
⭐️When the jelly has set, stir the quark through the custard, spoon the custard over the jelly and top with the yogurt. Add the cherries and evenly scatter over the almonds to serve.
