Who can resist trifle? This lighter more modern version is made with Pimms-soaked strawberries and a lighter, reduced fat creamy yoghurt layer flecked with citrusy lemon and orange rind.

This recipe comes courtesy of www.seasonalberries.co.uk.

4 trifle sponges, about 100g in total
350g strawberries, sliced
4 tbsp caster sugar
4 tbsp Pimms, undiluted
425ml good quality custard
200ml double cream
150g low fat natural yogurt
Grated rind half orange
Grated rind half lemon

To decorate:
3 strawberries, halved
A few tiny pansy flowers or lemon and orange rind curls 

 

Instructions: 

If you have time, leave the strawberries and Pimms to soak for 30 minutes or more, so that the flavours seep into the sponge base, before topping with the custard and cream.

Break the trifle sponges into pieces and arrange in a single layer in the base of a 1.2 litre dish. Arrange the strawberries on top, sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar then spoon over the Pimms. Spoon the custard over the top of the fruit and spread the top into an even layer. Whip the cream in a bowl until it just forms soft swirls then fold in the yogurt and fruit rinds. Spoon the cream over the custard and chill until required. Decorate with halved strawberries and pansy flowers or lemon and orange rind curls (made with a zester) just before serving.
