Individual Christmas Trifles
Who doesn’t love a good Christmas Trifle? This cool dessert is based on a trifle with only three parts:
Green cake
Red jelly
White Cream
If you’re feeling fancy, you can add sprinkles or fresh fruit. Simply follow along to make my fun Christmas inspired dessert!
A single serving of the trifle, I like using a wine glass, but you can use any!
Time: Prep - 3 Hours, Assembly - 5-10 Minutes

Keeps: 3 Days Refrigerated
Ingredients:
1 packet - Vanilla/butter cake mix

6 drops - Green food colouring
1 packet - Red jelly (I use raspberry, but any could do!)
300ml - Thickened cream

(Optional topping) Fresh fruit
Method:
Gather ingredients, pre-heat the oven (per packet instructions) and boil the kettle
Make the jelly according to instructions on the packet (pour jelly crystals into 250ml of boiling water, stir, add 200ml of cool water) and set in a flat(ish) container for a minimum of 2 hours
While the jelly is setting, make the cake mix according to the instructions on the packet - make sure you add the green dye! Bake in the recommended container for the recommended time.
While the cake is cooking, make up the whipped cream using the thickened cream, vanilla, and icing sugar. Whisk until soft peaks form
Store the whipped cream in the fridge until everything is ready to be put together
Once the cake is cool, cut it into small cubes, then store in the refrigerator
Start to clean up your workspace
Once the jelly is set, run the tip of a knife through the jelly to make small cubes
Gather all the prepared components and the six glasses/containers, and start to thinly layer the components together
Top with sprinkles or fresh fruit
Enjoy!
