School Night Vegan (School Night Vegan) offers a ‘Bird’s Trifle’ that layers vanilla sponge cake with raspberry compote, vanilla custard and vegan whipped cream. Rather than making ladyfingers, you could just cut up a vegan pound cake and add vegan jelly and vegan custard.
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people & pets (many human foods including chocolate and alcohol are unsafe around animal friends).
Sprinkles (aka hundreds and thousands) are usually made with dead red insects, beeswax or chemicals. This post has a good overview of the best natural brands and recipes. Or leave them out.
a vegan ‘sherry trifle’ recipe
This homemade vegan trifle (The Veg Space) has optional booze (sherry – be careful as some ‘cream sherries’ are not vegan) that you can leave out, if wished.
a vegan black forest trifle recipe
This black forest trifle (Rainbow Nourishments) takes its colours (chocolate and cherry) from the national costume of Bavaria in Germany.
a vegan Prosecco trifle
If you really want to push the boat out, try this Prosecco Trifle (Addicted to Dates). Created by a classically-trained Irish baker, using Wild Thing prosecco (profits help the charity Born Free). You can also use an alcohol-free version if preferred and buy ready-made vegan jelly.
