You probably know trifle as one of those deliciously messy desserts with layers of biscuits, cream and fruit. This version does things a little differently. Vegan, gluten-free, super simple and quick to make, with soft pear, plant-based yoghurt and a generous swirl of Vanilla Date almond butter. For the biscuit layer, just choose whatever you fancy. Oat biscuits, speculoos, vanilla biscuits, gluten-free biscuits, pretty much anything works. Crumble, layer, done. Dessert can be that simple.

Crumble the biscuits with your hands. You can also put them in a bag and crush them finely.
Cut the pears into small cubes.
Add the pear and coconut blossom sugar to a small saucepan and heat over a medium heat. Cook until the pear is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. Leave to cool slightly.
Stir the vanilla extract into the plant-based yoghurt.
Layer the trifle in a glass. Start with a layer of crumbled biscuits, followed by Vanilla Date, pear and yoghurt. Repeat the layers and finish with some crumbled biscuits on top.
Tip(s)
Use TerraSana coconut whipping cream as a plant-based alternative to Greek yoghurt or whipped cream.
Also delicious: add small pieces of date for a little extra bite.
