    ❤️ Why I Love This Recipe

    ✔️ Blueberries and cherries have great health benefits. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C while Cherries are linked to lowering risk factors to heart disease, reduce inflammation, and cholesterol

    ✔️ This weight watcher trifle recipe has only 9 points per serving (using the most recent calculator 2022).

    ✔️ This berry trifle recipe is sweet enough for dessert, but healthy enough for breakfast!

    Ingredients

    Non-fat Greek yogurt

    Granulated sugar free sweetener

    Pure vanilla extract

    Blueberries

    Cherries (if fresh cannot be found, frozen will work)

    Sugar free brown sugar sweetener

    Lady fingers , cut into thirds

    Chopped pecans 

    Brown bowl with greek yogurt.

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, toss the blueberries and cherries with the brown sugar sweetener. Allow the berries to soak for 5 minutes. 
    2. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar free sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    3. Place ¼ cup of the berry mixture, with some of the juices from the berries, in the bottom of trifle bowl. Top with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture.
    4. Add 1 layer of lady fingers.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can you use frozen fruit in trifles?

    Yes, however the fruit should be thawed and drained before using.

    Will this berry trifle recipe get soggy overnight?

    No, the lady fingers will soften some, but they will not get soggy overnight.

    An orange bowl with blueberries and another orange bowl with stemmed cherries in the background.

    Tips

    • Fresh or frozen cherries can be used. If using frozen, all them to thaw completely before assembling the fruit mixture.
    • Making this trifle the day before it will be on the menu is highly recommended. Be sure there is at least 4 hours refrigeration time before serving.

    Variations

    • Use any fresh berries of your choice in place of the cherries and blueberries. Raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries all will work interchangeably.
    • Substitute pound cake or angel food cake cut into cubes for the ladyfingers
    • Sugar free vanilla pudding can stand in for the yogurt. If you use pudding, do not add the sweetener or extract.

    Equipment

    Mini footed trifle dish

    Mixing bowls

    Wooden spoon

    Serving Suggestions

    When I serve these mixed Berry Trifles for breakfast, I generally pair it with a cup of coffee. If serving for desert it can be topped with a dollop of whipped topping made with sugar free sweetener and heavy whipping cream.

    Storage

    Store these Cherry-Blueberry Trifles in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

      I love everything cherry ... and this sounds delish too ... especially for breakfast! But, I'll skip the Splenda and go with plain 'ole sugar ... I just can't get on board with the fake stuff!

      Just the other day I was thinking about a trifle and how long it has been since I've had a good one. I really like this healthy one and I'll have to satisfy my trifle hankering with it.
