Very Berry Coconut Cream Cheese Trifle is an easy-peasy dessert that’s filled with a mix of lush berries, coconut milk, cream cheese, and almonds. It tastes absolutely amazing and can be made a day in advance.
Hello Everyone, I’m Molly from Easy Cooking with Molly and I’m so excited to share my first recipe as a SoFabFood Contributor. Winter is a season of comfort food and dessert recipes. No matter how many you have, there’s ALWAYS space for one more recipe. Do you have a favorite dessert? Something that you enjoy eating by yourself or sharing with friends and family? I have one such recipe and that’s a trifle. Now, there are tons of trifle recipes around, however, this particular one is my favorite and I have made it a number of times with great success. Every time it’s made, it goes off so quickly that I’ve never had a chance to keep an extra serving saved for myself. This Very Berry Coconut Cream Cheese Trifle combines plain cake, lots of fresh berries, coconut milk (that’s a game changer in this recipe), regular/light cream cheese, all topped with some chopped almonds (optional).
The combination of coconut milk and berries gives such an amazing texture and taste to the trifle that every bite just melts in your mouth. To enhance the taste further, I’ve mixed a part of coconut milk with cream-cheese, which is then whisked to form this light, fluffy, cloud-like cream that’s added as layers in between. This recipe is a favorite of all age groups and can be served with any kind of meal. We love making it at our home and hope you’ll love it too.
