Lowcarb trifle !


Ingredients: Serves 6-8
100 grams of ground almonds
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of melted butter
2 tablespoons of double cream
A pack of frozen lowcarb summer fruits
300ml of extra thick cream
A handful of toasted flaked almonds
2 x 12.5 grams of instant jelly crystals

Method

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Melt the butter, I use a Pyrex jug, add the eggs, cream, then add the dry ingredients and mix. Pour into a 6" microwave proof dish. Microwave in a 700watt for 3 minutes. Allow almond sponge to cool and break up into small pieces.

 Layer up in a Pyrex bowl ( 7" wide by 4" deep ) the fruit, and sponge. Pour over the lowcarb raspberry liquid jelly and allow to set in the fridge. Cover top with extra thick cream and toasted flaked almonds.

    This looks very good,does the jelly contain sugar? I assume not as you say its low carb.

    I used two 12.5 gram packs of Tesco instant Jelly crystals. Carbs 0.7 grams of carb, 0.3 grams of sugar per one quarter complete jelly. The fruit is around 10 grams of carb per 100 grams.

    As an occasional treat It should be fine.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Regards Eddie

    Many thanks for coming back to me. I'm certainly going to try this out. a small helping of trifle is not going to increase my daily carb allowance and it looks tasty.

    There's one missing ingredient that will enhance the flavour Sherry! a trifle's not complete without it.

    Had the family over earlier today. I came a cross this recipe a few weeks back whilst browsing. Made it for my guests today and it was a hit. As the family are old enough to enjoy a sherry I took Grahams advice and put a little in. Tasted great.
    Thank you.
