This vegan Christmas trifle is layered with silky smooth custard, cream, macerated seasonal fruit, and egg-free meringue. The ultimate free-from trifle that’s super easy to make ahead if you’re entertaining. It’s a showstopper, so be prepared for heavy praise.

To make life simple, you’ll need the Well and Good Custard Powder, Vegan Meringue, and Whipping Cream. You can save money using frozen fruit but fresh always tastes better.

Notes:

  • For a more traditional trifle, bake the Well and Good Vanilla Cupcake Mix as a cake in a square baking tin. Allow to completely cook before cubing then layering into the trifle bowl. You’ll need to cut back the other ingredients a little to allow room.
  • Reduce costs by swapping in fruit that’s on special when you make this dessert.
  • One sachet of meringue mix will make enough for the trifle, but there will be plenty left over. You can add these to a bowl and serve them separately.
