Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the sponge cake by either baking a whole grain sponge cake or using a store-bought vegan version. If baking, use a recipe that calls for whole grain flour, flaxseed meal as an egg substitute, and non-dairy milk.
- 2
In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
- 3
Heat the mixture over medium heat, continuously stirring until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before using.
- 5
Assemble the trifle in a large glass bowl or individual cups. Start with a layer of sponge cake at the bottom.
- 6
Add a layer of the prepared vegan custard over the sponge cake, followed by a layer of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices).
- 7
Repeat the layers until the bowl is filled, finishing with a layer of vegan custard on top.
- 8
Top the trifle with coconut whipped cream and a few extra berries for decoration.
- 9
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
