| Hung Curd (Greek Yogurt) | 200 grams |

| Sugar (powdered) | 3 tablespoons |
| Strawberry Compote | 1/4 cup |

Preparation Time
20 minutes
Cooking Time
300 minutes (4 to 5 hours for refrigeration)
Instructions:
-
Whisking the Cream and Sugar:
- Start by whisking the fresh cream and powdered sugar together until the mixture thickens and soft peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Using an electric whisk can speed up the process.
-
Add the Greek Yogurt:
- Gradually add the hung curd (Greek yogurt) to the whipped cream mixture. Continue to whisk until just combined. Make sure not to overwhisk to maintain a smooth texture.
-
Prepare the Fruit:
- If you’re using a strawberry compote, ensure it’s prepared and ready to use. Alternatively, you can opt for fresh fruits like kiwi, mangoes, or strawberries for a more seasonal variation.
-
Assembling the Trifle:
- Take individual glasses or serving bowls and start layering the trifle. Begin by adding a spoonful of crumbled Marie biscuits (or oats biscuits) at the bottom of each glass. This will provide a nice crunchy base.
- Next, spoon a layer of the whipped yogurt mixture on top of the biscuits.
- Add a layer of fruit or strawberry compote, followed by another layer of whipped yogurt.
- Repeat the layers, alternating between the oat crumbles, yogurt mixture, and fruit until the glasses are filled.
-
Chill the Trifle:
- Once assembled, refrigerate the trifle for 4 to 5 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. This will also help the oat crumbles soak up some of the cream, adding a delightful texture.
-
Serving:
- Serve the trifle chilled as a refreshing snack or a light dessert at dinner parties. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy with friends or family.
Tips for Variations:
- You can use different fruits like mango, bananas, or berries depending on the season or your preference.
- For added texture, you can mix in some crushed nuts or chocolate shavings between layers.
- If you prefer a more indulgent version, you can replace the oat biscuits with digestive biscuits or even a richer sponge cake layer.
Enjoy your Quick & Easy Creamy Fruit Trifle, a healthy yet indulgent dessert that’s as versatile as it is delicious!
