Fruits of the forest trifle

-

Serves 8, ready in 35 minutes, plus chilling

• 14 sheets leaf gelatine

• 150ml blackcurra­nt no-added-sugar squash

• 400g frozen forest fruits, defrosted and drained

• 13 sponge fingers, halved

• 400g can low-fat custard

• 500g fat-free natural fromage frais

• 300g fat-free natural Greek yogurt

• 1 level tbsp sweetener granules

• Zest of ½ orange

• 100g fresh blackberri­es, to decorate

1 Soak 8 gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Remove the gelatine and squeeze out any excess water. Pour the squash into a large measuring jug and add 400ml boiling water. Add the gelatine, stir well to dissolve, then add 400ml cold water and leave to cool.

2 Put the forest fruits into the base of a large glass bowl. Pour over the jelly mixture. Chill for 4 hours, or until set.

3 Arrange the sponge fingers vertically around the sides of the bowl and cover the top of the jelly with any that are left over. Soak the remaining gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Remove the gelatine and squeeze out any excess water.

4 Put 100ml custard in a small, non-stick saucepan and place over a medium heat. Add the gelatine and stir until dissolved. Put the remaining custard and 300g fromage frais in a bowl and stir in the gelatine mixture. Spoon over the sponge fingers and chill for 1-2 hours, or until set.

5 Whisk together the remaining fromage frais, and the yogurt, sweetener and most of the orange zest. Spoon the mixture over the custard. Decorate with the remaining zest and the blackberri­es and divide between 8 bowls to serve.
