Ingredients
Scale
Ladyfingers
- 16 pieces Vegan Ladyfingers (or store-bought vegan cookies or vanilla cake)
Raspberry Maceration
- 2 cups Fresh Raspberries (or other berries)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup Amaretto (or fruit juice/kombucha for non-alcoholic)
- 1 Vanilla Pod, half chopped (optional)
Custard
- 2 cups Vegan Coconut Custard (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup Vegan White Chocolate
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup Coconut Whipping Cream (well chilled)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (adjust to sweetness preference)
Garnish
- Fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Macereate Raspberries: In a bowl, toss the fresh raspberries with the granulated sugar, amaretto, and half of the chopped vanilla pod. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes until the raspberries become syrupy and fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Prepare Custard: Gently warm the vegan coconut custard in a saucepan over low heat. Once warmed, whisk in the melted vegan white chocolate until the custard is smooth, creamy, and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the well-chilled coconut whipping cream along with the powdered sugar until it reaches a light, fluffy texture. Refrigerate the whipped cream until you are ready to assemble the trifle.
- Layer Trifle: In a clear trifle bowl, place half of the vegan ladyfingers as the first layer. Spoon half of the macerated raspberries on top, followed by half of the coconut custard mixture. Pipe or spoon half of the whipped cream over the custard layer for a creamy finish.
- Repeat Layers: Add the remaining ladyfingers as the next layer, then the rest of the boozy raspberries, custard, and whipped cream, creating a tall and visually stunning trifle with distinct layers.
- Chill: Cover the assembled trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set nicely.
- Garnish: Just before serving, decorate the top of the trifle with fresh raspberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar, adding an elegant and inviting touch.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace amaretto with fruit juice or kombucha.
- You can substitute vegan ladyfingers with store-bought vegan cookies or vanilla cake slices.
- Ensure the coconut whipping cream is very cold for best whipping results.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of granulated and powdered sugar to your taste.
- The trifle tastes best when allowed to chill overnight, as the flavors blend and intensify.
