Trifle made with berries is low in calories and easy on busy cooks - Detroit Free Press

Summer is here, and that means it’s berry season. Our low-calorie Triple Berry Trifle is a great way to enjoy the sweet flavors and healthful benefits of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.

Trifle is a layered dessert made with fruit, pieces of cake and custard or pudding. The first recipes for trifle originated in England, and by the mid-18th century, the dessert included biscuits soaked in sherry. Our trifle is one the whole family can enjoy. To keep the kitchen cool, we’re using some premade ingredients so there’s no baking or stove-top cooking.

With fewer than 190 calories per serving, our trifle is a treat you can enjoy several times this summer. To minimize calories, we’ve used angel food cake, fat-free whipped topping and fat-free vanilla pudding that's also sugar-free. The result is a creamy and satisfying dessert that complements the sweet-tangy taste of berries.

Berries are packed with health benefits. They contain antioxidants that help protect cells from damage and lower the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Rich in fiber, berries promote a healthy digestive system. In addition, they provide vitamin C to support your immune system and maintain healthy skin, blood vessels and bones. A cup of strawberries provides 150% of your daily needs for vitamin C. Berries also provide potassium, magnesium and vitamin K. Many of the nutrients in berries help protect our brain cells from the effects of aging.
