There are many delicious desserts out there, but what about one that is not only delectable but healthy too? The almond trifles recipe is one that definitely fits in this category, and is one that the whole family will love.

Most of the ingredients are low fat, so you can delight in the fact that you will not only be getting a finger licking good dessert but also nutrition at the same time. This particular recipe calls for liqueur but you can replace this with a non alcoholic ingredient if you like.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 8 Amaretti di Saronno biscuits
• 4 tbsp brandy 0r Amaretti liqueur
• 225 g raspberries
• 300 ml low fat custard
• 300 ml low fat fromage frais
• 1 tsp almond essence
• 15 g toasted almonds, flaked
• 1 tsp cocoa powder

1. Place the biscuits in a mixing bowl and using the end of a rolling pin, carefully crush the biscuits into small pieces.
2. Divide the crushed biscuits among 4 serving glasses. Sprinkle the brandy or liqueur over the crushed biscuits and leave to stand for about 30 minutes to allow the biscuits to soften.
3. Top the layer of crushed biscuits with a layer of raspberries, reserving a few raspberries for decoration, and spoon over enough custard to just cover.
4. Mix the fromage frais with the almond essence and spoon over the custard. Leave to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
5. Just before serving, sprinkle over the toasted almonds and dust with cocoa powder. Decorate with the reserved raspberries and serve at once.

“Try this trifle with assorted summer fruits. If they are a frozen mix, use them frozen and allow them to thaw so that the juices soak into the biscuit base, it will taste truly delicious”.
