Ingredients Needed

- Light Aerosol Cream: The light aerosol cream adds a velvety smoothness to the trifle without the extra calories. Its airy texture and creamy flavour perfectly complement the other ingredients, creating a delightful topping that's as indulgent as it is guilt-free.

Variations and Substitutes
- Custard Alternative: For a traditional twist, you can substitute the fat-free banana yoghurt with a homemade custard. Prepare the custard using custard powder, semi-skimmed milk, and granulated sweetener instead of sugar. This lower-calorie option still provides a creamy texture and adds a classic touch to your trifle.
- Fruit Variations: Feel free to customize your trifle with your favourite fruits. Try using sliced strawberries, kiwi, mango, or pineapple for a tropical twist, or opt for seasonal fruits for a fresh and flavourful variation.
- Yoghurt Options: Experiment with different flavours of yoghurt to suit your taste preferences. While fat-free banana yoghurt adds a creamy texture with a hint of banana flavour, you can also try using other flavours of yoghurt such as vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, or even coconut. Each flavour will bring its own unique twist to the trifle, allowing you to create a variety of delicious combinations to enjoy.
- Cream Alternatives: If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the light aerosol cream with dairy free coconut aerosol cream topping. This alternatives offer a creamy texture with a hint of coconut flavour, perfect for those with lactose intolerance or vegan dietary preferences.
- Topping Ideas: Get creative with your toppings! Instead of rainbow sprinkles, try crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavour. You can also drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
- Sponge Fingers: If you prefer a more traditional trifle experience, you can add sponge fingers to your Skinny Trifle. Simply break one sponge finger in half and place it into the jelly of each individual trifle. While I chose not to include sponge fingers in my version, you can enjoy this classic addition for approximately 26 calories per finger. Feel free to customize your trifle to suit your preferences and indulge in a nostalgic treat.
Note: Making any changes to the ingredients or proportions may alter the nutritional content of the trifle. Be mindful of substitutions if you're counting calories or following specific dietary requirements.
How to Serve Skinny Trifles
When it comes to presenting your Skinny Trifles, the options are as diverse as your creativity! Consider serving them in elegant stemless wine glasses for a touch of sophistication, allowing the layers to shine through beautifully. Alternatively, you can use clear glass jars, parfait glasses, or even small dessert bowls for a charming presentation that's perfect for any occasion. Whatever vessel you choose, ensure it showcases the layers of jelly, yoghurt, and fresh fruit, inviting guests to indulge in each delightful spoonful of this guilt-free treat.
