English Trifle
Ingredients
1 angle food cake, fresh baked or purchased
1 jar low calorie raspberry jam
1 large sugar free raspberry Jell-O (6-serving box)
1 large package instant vanilla pudding, sugar free
1/2 to 1 C. dry sherry (not cooking variety)
1 to 3 maraschino cherries, with stems
3 fresh mint leaves, or similar garnish
Cool Whip Lite
Cooking Instructions
Break angel cake into medium-sized pieces. Spread each with a small amount of raspberry jam, and arrange in a straight-sided glass bowl. Pour over the sherry and weight down lightly with saucer; cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for a few hours. After sherry has been absorbed, mix Jell-O according to directions; do not use ice. Pour over cake and sherry in the bowl. Cover and place in refrigerator for several hours, or overnight, until Jell-O is set. Before serving, prepare vanilla pudding mix and pour over top of Jell-O, using a knife to slide down sides of bowl to allow some of the pudding to go down sides. Cover and chill again. Garnish with cherries and mint, or use some candied fruits to decorate top of bowl. When serving, be sure to slide spoon to the bottom of the bowl for each serving, not only for the colors of the different layers, but to be sure each serving gets the flavor of the sherry. Top with a small dollop of Cool Whip Lite.
