Was POINTS® Value: 8
Now POINTS® Value: 3
Servings:  6
Preparation Time:  20 min
Cooking Time:  0 min
Level of Difficulty:  Easy
 
A few simple alterations to a classic trifle can radically reduce the POINTS® values - without ruining the yum factor!

Ingredients

  • 9 portion sponge finger, (boudoir biscuits)
  • 410 g fruit cocktail, in juice
  • 4 tablespoon sherry, medium
  • 100 g grapes, seedless and halved
  • 1 medium banana(s), sliced
  • 425 g low-fat ready to serve custard
  • 6 tablespoon canned spray cream
  • 1 sprig fresh mint, for decoration

Instructions

  • Arrange sponge fingers in a trifle dish, or for individual servings, into 6 glasses (1½ fingers per glass). Strain juice from the fruit cocktail into a jug, stir in sherry and pour over sponge fingers. Let it soak in.

  • Reserve some grapes for decoration. Mix remaining grapes and banana with fruit cocktail. Spoon into the trifle dish or glasses.

  • Pour custard over the fruit. Cover with clingfilm and chill until required.

  • Decorate the trifle with spray cream, grapes and mint leaves. Serve at once.

Chef Tips

  • To renovate this satisfying trifle, we reduced the amount of cream traditionally used. We also used low fat custard that still has a good thickness, but at a fraction of the POINTS value.
