Cranberry and Orange Trifle Jars – Christmas Dessert Idea
This healthy trifle recipe is one of my favourite easy healthy Christmas dessert ideas. A perfect baby food recipe for a preloaded spoon.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 210 g 1+1/2 cups flour
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 100 g 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- Juice 1 orange
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 2 oranges cut into bite-sized segments
- 300 ml 1.5 cups Greek Yogurt
- 100 ml whipped cream
- Zest 1 orange
- Juice 1/2 orange
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- To serve; dried orange segments sprinkle cinnamon
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
- Make the cookies by mixing the butter, maple syrup and flour together in a bowl. Add the water one tablespoon at a time until it comes together like a dough.
- Roll the dough into a long, fat sausage shape, then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for an hour.
- Cut into circular cookies, then place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes until they start to turn slightly golden. Leave too cool fully before using.
- Place the cranberries, orange juice and spices into a small saucepan and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat down and simmer for about 10 minutes until the cranberries have soaked up all of the liquid and have turned deliciously juicy. Remove a few tablespoons of the cranberries and leave in a bowl for decorating the top then add the orange segments to the pot and stir well.
- To make the yogurt cream, add all of the ingredients to a bowl and using a spoon stir well.
- Break one cookie apart and add to the bottom of each serving glass or jar. Layer with the orange and cranberries, then add a layer of yogurt and repeat until you are left with a layer of yogurt cream on top. Top with the reserved cranberries, then decorate with an orange segment and a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon.
