TRIFLE

As much as I love eating healthy foods, I love desserts. Ice cream, cake, macarons, pies and cupcakes will always have a special place in my heart. This trifle dessert looks decadent and very sugary; however, with a few twists it is a healthier alternative to ice cream and cake. 

You will need: 

- Angel food cake

- a variety of fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, just to name a few)

- tub of nonfat Greek yogurt

- lemon curd (I got mine at Trader Joe's, but I know you can find it at Whole Foods or any other gourmet grocery store)

- trifle bowl 

[Fold lemon curd into the Greek yogurt using the ratio of three parts yogurt to one part lemon curd.]

[ Begin layering. Start off with a layer of the lemon curd.]

[Then, create a layer of the bite sized angel food cake pieces.]

[Finally create a heavy layer of fruit.]

[Repeat.]

[Chill the trifle until you are ready to serve. The coldness allows the cake to absorb the fruit juice creating a natural sweetness in every bite.] 

[Trifle is not exactly the prettiest dessert, in fact it is kind of messy. I loved serving it in these adorable martini glasses that I got for a deal of just $1. Oh, don't forget the whipped cream!]
