What is a trifle?

A trifle is a traditional English dessert made of multiple layers of sponge cake, jelly, custard, and fruit, topped with a generous amount of whipped cream. It can be customized to suit one’s taste and is popularly enjoyed during festive celebrations. This classic dessert may appear sophisticated yet very simple to make. A trifle isn’t generally considered Keto-friendly. However, with a few adjustments, trifles can easily be Keto-friendly and still delicious. This Keto springtime blueberry trifle has a rich and smooth texture with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the blueberry compote and silky chia pudding.

How do you store these Keto springtime mini blueberry trifles?

Since traditional trifles usually consist of fresh fruits and custard, they are always stored in the refrigerator. Similarly, this Keto springtime fruit recipe consists of chia pudding made from heavy cream; therefore, it is best to keep it in the fridge. Ideally, placing the assembled trifle cups in the refrigerator to chill for some minutes before serving usually deepens the flavor. Storing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days will give the same result. However, the longer it stays in the fridge, the more the biscuit layer becomes soggy. Therefore, it is best to enjoy it within a day or two.

Can you use fresh fruits instead of a berry compote?

Yes, you can use fresh fruits. The berry compote provides a liquid, once cooked, that seeps into the crumbled biscuits, giving the biscuits an infused berry flavor. However, if you prefer fresh berries, cut them into pieces, coat them with some granulated sweetener, and allow them to macerate before assembling. That way, the berries will release some of their sugars and form a syrup that will seep into the crumbled biscuit once assembled.

How many cups does this recipe yield?

This recipe makes 4 small trifle cups. The volume of the glasses used is 4 oz or 120 ml. You can also use larger glasses or serve in a large trifle bowl.
