A Trifling Dessert
« on: April 17, 2012, 09:57:10 PM »
I've made this four times now and haven't gotten a picture yet. Sorry. Sometimes towards the bottom of the dish, I tell myself, 'I really need to get a picture of this and share it with the gang. Maybe next time.'

Make some Brownies - I made Tyler's Brownies as cupcakes - then get a clear single-serving bowl, like a little pyrex bowl and keep it handy for a minute. Assemble the following (you might only be able to eat half of this unless you eat it before the main course in your meal, like I do, then wait an hour to eat the main course):

1 brownie cupcake
1 heaping teaspoon low-carb beanit butter or IM Healthy, or whatever peanut butter stuff you like
1/2 cup whipped heavy cream
1 heaping teaspoon sugar-free caramel syrup (how do you get a heaping teaspoon of a liquid  ?)
1 heaping teaspoon sugar-free chocolate syrup (ditto)
1 tablespoon pecans, crunched
1/4 cup chopped up strawberries

Now take a couple tablespoons of whipped cream and mix it (gently) with the beanit butter, then spread it in the bottom of the pyrex bowl. Be careful not to slop it up the sides if you want a pretty dish.
Take one brownie and break about half of it up and make a layer of brownie.
Mix the caramel syrup with a couple tablespoons of whipped cream, then make a layer of that in the bowl on top of the brownie.
Make a layer of crunched pecans (or walnuts).
Mix the chocolate with a couple tablespoons of whipped cream and make a chocolate layer.
Break up the other half of the brownie and make a layer with it.
Put a layer of the strawberries on top of the brownie layer, then top it off with a dollop of the last of the whipped cream.
 
Don't sweeten the whipped cream or the sweetness will overpower this dessert and you can't eat it. Experience.

I made this for company and they said, "You can eat stuff like this and lose weight?!?" I said, "Yeah, I suffer."

I used some Walden Farms SF marshmallow dip for one layer, but it was over the top and didn't really add anything, so I don't use it for my mini trifle now.

It's mighty tasty. Different flavors and textures all the way through.

Haha! It's a combination of all the food groups! Dairy, nuts, fruits... but I get it, Doug. Moderation.  Most times I don't have room for dessert after a meal, so once in a while I have dessert first! ("Life is uncertain, eat the dessert first!" one of my favorite mottos.)

Sarah, sounds like the 5th time you need to add a "camera" to the top of the ingredient list LOL.  Would love to see a pic but have already added to the "to make" list
Look out Hawaii, I'm on my way!!
