Sugar Free White Chocolate Trifle Food

LOW-CAL, LOW-FAT EASY CHOCOLATE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Prepare brownie mix according to package directions (I substitute half unsweetened applesauce for any vegetable oil).
• Allow brownies to cool and cut into 1-inch squares.
• In a large bowl, combine pudding mix, water and condensed milk. Mix until smooth. Fold in 8-oz container of Cool Whip.
• In a glass serving dish, layer 1/2 brownies, 1/2 pudding mix and 1/2 of the 12-oz container of Cool Whip. Repeat layering.
• Garnish with chocolate bar shavings. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
• Can also be served in individual dessert or wine glasses.

WHITE CHOCOLATE TRIFLE

Steps:

• To make the custard, put the milk, cream and caster sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, set a glass bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Snap the white chocolate into the bowl and leave to melt. Put the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
• Once the cream mixture is up to the boil, pour into the bowl with the yolks, whisking continually. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over a gentle heat, whisking until the mixture reaches 85C on a digital thermometer, or the custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon and you can draw a line through it with your fingertip. Pour the custard through a sieve into the melted chocolate and quickly whisk to combine. Pour the white custard into a bowl, cover with cling film and chill in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, crumble the cake into the bottom of a trifle bowl or individual glasses and pour over the rum and half the passion fruit pulp. Leave to soak for 10 mins, then spoon over the white chocolate custard. Put in the fridge while you whisk the cream.
• Whisk the cream, vanilla, sugar and lime zest to soft peaks, then spoon into a piping bag with a star nozzle. Pipe on top of the custard, then top with the remaining passion fruit, coconut and a grating of white chocolate. Chill until needed. Can be made a day ahead and decorated just before serving.

LOW SUGAR TIRAMISU TRIFLE

Steps:

• Mix the two puddings as directed.
• Cube the cake into 1/2 - 1 inch squares.
• Layer some of the cake in the bottom of a trifle dish. Drizzle the coffee onto the cake.
• Layer some of both puddings.
• Layer some of the cool whip.
• Repeat. Top with some sifted unsweetened cocoa powder.

TROUBLE FREE WHITE CHOCOLATE MINI-TRIFLE

Steps:

• Peel the two oranges, removing all white pith.
• Slice them into rounds.
• Place the orange juice and the white sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook till syrupy.
• Stir in the orange slices and get them well coated.
• Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it either in the micro wave or over simmering water on the stove--but reserve a bit of chocolate for garnishing the desserts.
• Slice the pound cake into 1/2" thick rectangles. You should have 16.
• Brush eight of the rectangles generously with the grand marnier.
• Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the eight slices of cake.
• Distribute half the orange slices over the cake.
• Top with another slice of cake and cover that with whipped cream.
• Meanwhile, whizz the brown sugar and the cinnamon in a coffee grinder or mini processor (or a mortar and pestle).
• Place each mini trifle on a serving plate.
• Garnish the plate with the remaining orange slices and some chocolate curls and sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture decoratively over the plates.
• If you have time and want to be fancier, put the whipped cream in a pastry bag and pipe it on--but just slathered whipped cream looks lovely.
