Fourth of July Trifle

CarolynF · 06-28-2008, 07:05 AM

LindaSue asked me to post this..

One recipe of LindaSue's almond cake (made with 4 ounces of cream cheese and one stick of butter). Baked and cooled

Strawberries, sliced
Blueberries
Small box of raspberries
SF raspberry jam

Whipped cream

Vanilla pudding:

This is my tweak for 4 servings:

Homemade LC vanilla pudding

3/4 cup or less of Splenda (sweetfreez, too)
2 Tbs. of cornstarch
2 cups of Homemade Low Carb Milk or CC milk or 1 cup cream/1 cup water
2 beaten eggs
1 Tbs. of butter
1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla

In a medium saucepan add cornstarch, milk, and sweetener. Cook until it starts to thicken, stirring constantly. This will take about 2-4 minutes. Then
cook for 2 minutes, stirring. In a 2-cup measuring cup or bowl, beat the eggs, then slowly stir in 1 cup of the hot liquid.

Return the eggs/milk mixture to the saucepan and cookand stir for 2 minutes on low. Remove from the stove and add the vanilla and the butter, stirring until the butter is melted.

Pour into 4 cups..placing saran wrap on top of the pudding so a skin doesn't form. Or you can also pour this into a bigger bowl. Chill.

After everything is made..cake, pudding. berries sliced, cream whipped..
Make your raspberry sauce:

1/2 cup of SF raspberry jam mixed with 1/4 cup of water heated in a small saucepan. Add the small box of raspberries and cook, mashing raspberries as you go. Cool a bit.

Layer in a pretty glass bowl (2 Quart)

1/3 of the almond cake broken up in 2 inch chunks
sliced strawberries
1/2 of the pudding
1/3 of the almond cake
All of the raspberry sauce
1/3 of the almond cake
1/2 of the pudding
A layer of whipped cream
Blueberries on top ..

Cover and refrigerate.

This is going to be perfect for the 4th. Thanks! I will cheat and use sf pudding though instead of making pudding but will use the cook andserve sugar free kind rather than instant.

LindaSue · 06-28-2008, 08:58 AM

Sounds very yummy, Carolyn.

lisabinil · 06-28-2008, 09:45 AM

Post some pics Carolyn! This sounds very pretty as well as delicious.

CarolynF · 06-28-2008, 10:47 AM

I have used the SF pudding in the past, but I'm trying to avoid the asparatame..

Lisa: I am bad at pictures and I'm bringing it to my neighbor's tonight..

Barbo · 06-28-2008, 05:31 PM

You have outdone yourself. Wow that would be super and a perfect
finale to the 4th July dinner. I'll be there if I knew what time you
were eating. What can i bring?

CarolynF · 06-28-2008, 09:11 PM

Barbo: Thanks..It was very good and it was almost all gone. The cake sopped up the pudding and raspberry sauce nicely...which is how I like it.

CarolynF · 06-29-2008, 04:12 PM

NO, Christina..That is a recipe for a nommie coffee cake..

The recipe is Almond Pound Cake..I'll find it for ya. I have no idea how many carbs in the whole thing. It depends on how much fruit you use, etc..the type of splenda, etc.

This is the recipe:
