Keto Ambrosia Trifle Method
- On the day before, prepare the sugar free jelly according to packet instructions. Pour into a square baking dish and allow to set completely before preparing trifle. The jelly should be around 1.5cm high.
- Also on the day before, prepare and bake the Keto Victoria Sponge Cake Mix, or Keto Gingerbread Cake Mix according to package instructions.
- On the day of preparation, make the ambrosia first.
- First, prepare the marshmallows by chopping into smaller pieces. In a medium bowl pour in the cream and whip with electric beaters for 2-3 minutes on low-medium speed until the cream begins to froth or foam.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat until the cream thickens and begins to leave a trail. Beat until soft peaks form, careful not to overbeat.
- Add to the cream the yogurt and your frozen mixed berries. Gently fold into the cream until well incorporated.
- Add to this, the chopped marshmallows and keto dark choc chips. Gently mix to combine
- Set Cream mixture aside in the refrigerator to keep cold while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Slice the premade keto cake into 2-3cm chunks. Run a sharp knife through the jelly down and across to create 1cm chunks.
- Add the juice or ginger beer to a jug. In a large 3.5L trifle bowl, add in 1/2 of the cake chunks to form a layer covering the base of the bowl.
- Layer the jelly pieces of the sponge layer and half the frozen berries.
-
Add the jelly squares all over the sponge pieces and half the frozen berries
-
Over this carefully spoon in half the Ambrosia, and spread with a spatula to smooth
-
On top of this add the remaining sponge chunks, lightly pressing them down.
-
Pour over the rest of the juice, again not to soak just to colour and the remainder of the mixed frozen berries
-
Carefully spoon over the remainder of the Ambrosia and carefully spread this to cover the trifle.
-
Place lightly covered in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight
-
When ready to serve slice up some fresh berries, the reserved marshmallows halved, a few frozen blueberries and some more chocolate chips to sprinkle over.
-
Serve while cold. This recipe will keep for up to 2-3 days if covered and stored well in the refrigerator.
