Low-fat Sweet Dessert

A special dessert for a special occasion is a must for most people.
Here is one that is not excessive and will give some anti-oxidants as well.
For this Black and Blue Trifle about 10 sponge finger boudoir biscuits are broken into pieces and arranged into the base of a trifle dish. Make up 1 packet of blackcurrant jelly, and cut into cubes. Pour a layer of jelly over the sponge finger pieces and chill to set slightly. Add 300g of mixed blackberries, blackcurrants and blueberries to the remaining jelly and pour into the trifle dish. Again leave to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Whip 300ml (1/2 pint) whipping cream with caster sugar to taste, and spread over the top of the set jelly. You can also add a layer of low-fat custard beneath the whipped cream for a more conventional trifle.
