Cottage colors Party ...red and green!

For this month's party, I thought I would share a favorite holiday recipe of mine, which is served up in beautiful vintage crystal bowl that I hold dear to my heart.

This recipe also was published in the holiday issue of Shabby Lane Shops magazine

Holiday Berry Trifle

A lovely holiday dessert and good for you too!

2 10oz, packages frozen Strawberries, thawed and strained.

(Save the juice)

1 12oz package frozen raspberries thawed and strained.

(Save the juice)

1 12oz package frozen blueberries or blackberries, thawed and drained

1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

¾ cup heavy whipping cream

¼ teaspoon Almond extract (optional)

48 oz non fat or low fat Vanilla Greek yogurt (no substitutions)

(Such as Chobani or Fage)

36-40 ladyfingers

In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together raspberry and strawberry juice with ¾ cup powdered sugar and cornstarch. Boil until thickened. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until cool.

In a medium bowl, whip the cream to stiff. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, almond extract, and remaining sugar. Fold I whipped cream.

Place a double layer of ladyfingers at the bottom of a pretty clear glass bowl, next layer 1/3 of the yogurt mixture. Then spoon half of the berries, with a drizzle of the berry sauce.

Layer another 1/3 of the yogurt mixture, followed by a double layer of ladyfingers, remaining yogurt, and the rest of the berries. Drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of the berry sauce to finish.

Refrigerate 2 hrs before serving.

Serves 10

Variations include frozen mixed berries, vanilla instead of almond extract.

Angel food cake slices or Vanilla wafers instead of the ladyfingers.
