Something Sweet

BBQing burgers and making a bean salad for dinner and later these are chilling for dessert...


Shelly's Triple Strawberry Trifle

1 Shelly's Pretty in Pink Strawberry 5 Minute Cake, cut into rounds
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Strawberry Topping or Jam (I use Smucker's)
1 cup Strawberries, diced
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup
1 batch Warm Vanilla Custard (recipe below)

Prepare my Strawberry 5 Minute Cake per recipe see link above. Allow to cool. Cut cake into at least 4 slices and use a cookie cutter or juice glass to make a round small enough to fit in the bottom of 4 ramekins. Spoon Strawberry Topping over cake rounds.

Divide strawberries that have been sweetened with Sugar Free Torani among the 4 ramekins.

Top with Warm Vanilla Custard.

You can eat it warm or put them in the fridge to set up for 1/2 hour. I let them chill and top with Sugar Free Land o Lakes Whipped Cream.


Shelly's Warm Vanilla Custard

2 Tablespoons of Bird's Custard Powder
2 cups Milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup

Mix powder into a smooth paste with a little of the milk. Heat the remaining milk to almost boiling and pour onto the custard mixture. Return the mix to the pan and heat till thickened (it will bubble). Remove from heat and mix Sugar Free Syrup in. You can eat this as is warm (my favorite) poured over slices of my 5 Minute Cakes, Crumbs and Protein Souffles or chill it and it will firm up like pudding.
