PREPARATION: 10 MINUTES, PLUS CHILLING COOKING: 5 MINUTES SERVES 10
EASY/PREPARE AHEAD
10 low-fat blueberry muffins, sliced
400ml (14fl oz) creme de cassis or blackcurrant sauce
50g (2oz) caster sugar
300g (10oz) half-fat creme fraiche
250g (9oz) 0% fat Greek yogurt
100g (4oz) ready-made meringues, lightly crushed
450g (11b) fresh blueberries, very lightly crushed
1 Put the sliced muffins in the base of a large glass bowl. Place the creme de cassis and the sugar in a saucepan and heat through gently for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Pour over the muffins. If using blackcurrant sauce, you won’t need sugar.
2 Mix together the creme fraTche and fold in the yogurt, meringues and blueberries, reserving a handful of each to scatter over the top. Spoon the mixture over the muffins and level the top a little. Scatter over the remaining meringue and blueberries and chill for 1 hour. You can make the trifle the day before as it will keep overnight.
