Berry Cheesecake Trifle
Servings: 2
Ingredients
Trifle:
- 150g (5¼ oz) mixed berries (see note 1)
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp honey
- 200g (7 oz) cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 70g (⅔ cup) icing / confectioners' / powdered sugar
- leftover cake (see note 2)
Topping:
- 250ml (1 cup) whipping cream
- decoration of choice (see note 3)
Instructions
Trifle:
- Add the berries, water and honey to a pan.
- Gently heat the berries until they start to bubble, and then cook for a couple of minutes (just until the fruit softens but doesn't become mushy).
- Beat the cream cheese together with the vanilla.
- Add the icing sugar and continue to beat until everything is nice and smooth.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and place in the fridge until ready to assemble.
Assembly:
- Start off by placing a layer of cake in the bottom of your glass or bowl, and push it down a little.
- Pour over some of the fruit and then top with a little of the cream cheese mixture.
- Repeat the process, then finally, top with the whipped cream.
- Finish off with any decorations you like (I used sprinkles, a little candy and a shortbread biscuit). Keep in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
Notes
- I used frozen for convenience, but you could use fresh.
- I used a cake that was a baking failure. You can use any kind of cake, including cupcakes and muffins.
- This dessert was made for Valentine's and was decorated for the theme. However, you could use any decorations you like.
