3 to 4slicesreduced-fat pound cake, to make 3 cups of 1-inch cubes
2tablespoonslow sugar orange marmalade
¼cupCointreau or Grand Marnier
zest and juice of 1 orange
1recipe fat-free vanilla pudding
1cupheavy cream, whipped
2cupsfresh blackberries, divided
For the Vanilla Pudding
½cupTruvia (or favorite no calorie/low calorie sweetener)
3tablespoonscornstarch
⅛teaspoonsalt
1cupfat-free evaporated milk
1cup2% milk
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Make the pudding first since it needs a chance to cool before being added to the trifle.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and salt with ½ cup of evaporated milk.
Put the remaining ½ cup evaporated milk and 1 cup 2% milk in a heavy bottomed saucepan set over medium low heat. Heat until it begins to steam and then slowly whisk in the cornstach mixture, stirring constantly.
Cook over medium low heat until the pudding thickens and just starts to boil, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to very low and continue to cook, stirring often, another 5 minutes or so.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Cover and chill before using it in the trifle.
Spread the slices of pound cake with orange marmalade and then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cut cake cubes in a shallow bowl and Drizzle them with the orange liqueur and orange juice. Toss them a bit to get some of the liquor and juice on each piece. Toss in 1 cup of the blackberries.
Cover the cake and berries evenly with the cooled pudding and then spoon over the whipped cream.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
When you are ready to serve, scatter the remaining blackberries and orange zest over the top.
Recipe Notes
I love this kind of recipe because it doesn't have to be exact to be good. You can use whatever kind of cake you like - loaf cake, sponge cake, pound cake, angel food cake.You could also skip the pudding and just use more softly whipped cream if you like. You can make it in individual goblets, or a more traditional glass bowl or trifle dish.Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.12*SmartPoints (Green plan)12*SmartPoints (Blue plan)12*SmartPoints (Purple plan)7*PointsPlus (Old plan)
