Ultimate Skinny Trifle | Slimming World Friendly Recipe
This ultimate tangy Skinny trifle will hit all the right buttons for any of you with a sweet tooth. This dessert would make a brilliant impact at a family dinner or a healthy alternative at a kids party… go on impress all of your family and friends! Wait until you tell them it is Slimming friendly!
I have been craving a proper trifle for ages BUT keeping it low in calories and Slimming friendly is not an easy task. I decided I either had to give up the custard or the sponge.. so I went for replacing the sponge with loads of speedy strawberries. (How good am I?) I was actually very surprised at how in syns the squirty cream is too..
Do you call it Squirty Cream? I spent ages trying to find this on Tesco online shop.. as they have called it Spray cream? What is that all about? lol!
Okay I know the first thing you want to know! How do I get my jelly at a sloping angle? I have no idea why I needed to do it like this but I like things to look pretty or different.
Basically make your jelly up as normal and then place your trifle glasses or whatever you use into a cup at an angle (see below). This will set the jelly at whatever angle you leave it at. Clever huh?
The second thing I know you are interested to find out… which squirty (spray) cream am I using and how many Syns is it? I use the Tesco lighter squirty cream which is worth 1.5 Syns for every 12.5g serving. I do however believe that Aldi, Lidl, Sainsburys and Asda do sell very similar products 🙂
I have made the trifle with raspberries and raspberry jelly but this can easily be substituted with strawberries. You are welcome to use frozen fruit and remember the jelly needs at least 2 hours to set with the fruit included so prep before hand.

I made a trifle that was only 2 syns a portion, by making my own custard, semi skimmed milk HxA, eggs, vanilla pod, and sweetener. You need to use xanthum gum to get it to set, but it’s free so it’s ok. For the cream I used plain low fat quark and some more natural sweetener.
Thank you for the suggestion but I think i will treat myself and use the 6.5 syns now and then 😛 Quark instead of delicious squirty cream does not sound as nice. I don’t mind quark in pasta dishes etc but on a dessert i can’t stand it. 🙂 We have the Syns why not use them on something that actually tastes amazing lol x
Looks fantastic..will definitely try this …??
Sorry, a trifle isn’t a trifle without sponge! I’m a Slimming World member, and if I wanted a low-Syn trifle I’d make a fatless sponge using eggs, flour and sweetener. Eggs are “Free” and you can Syn the flour. (I love the clever way the jelly is angled!)
Agreed this can be done 🙂 but it was still amazing without the sponge. If you have the extra available syns for Flour and Sweetener thats fab x
Trifle is my favourite. YUMMMMMY!! I shall be giving this a go using strawberries. Thank you for sharing x
Yummy 🙂 Strawberries will be next week for me xx
Sounds good I will be making I have all ingredients already.
sounds to good to miss out on this wonderful dessert, will be having some of this trifle pronto ?
I was wondering how you knew how much squirty cream to use until I scrolled down to your ingenious idea of weighing the glass… I will definitely be making this! thanks for sharing x
🙂 It works perfectly just keep squirting until you reach the desired weight. Enjoy honey its fab x
Now that looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing such wonderful looking food.
You thick that would curb a sweet tooth?
Thanks
This was lovely, a real treat. I found some mini pots of Ambroisa light custard for 2.5 syns per pot added some muller light banana & custard yoghurt to it for that layer. I also found Anchor light squirty is 1 syn per 12.5g, thanks for the tip on squirty cream….All in all, 7syns for my trifle and worth it. ?
