CR Trifle
When I was in college, my roommate and I used to throw huge dessert parties where we would serve cookies, pies, cakes, and after dinner drinks to about 40 people in our tiny little apartment. One of my favorite things to make was a trifle, served in a giant, gorgeous glass bowl.
I've been thinking about a way to make a CR version of trifle, and today when I saw organic strawberries on sale at Whole Foods, I decided that today was the day. Here's how I did it.
I took 1/4 cup (45 calories) of nonfat ricotta and put it on top of a layer of thinly sliced megamuffin. Then I added a layer of diced organic strawberries and topped that with a half teaspoon hazelnut oil and a teaspoon of Walden Farms chocolate sauce. I followed with another layer of megamuffins, another 1/4 cup fat free ricotta, a few hazelnuts, more strawberries, and another 1/2 teaspoon of hazelnut oil. Beautiful, and delicious! MR just about freaked out when he ate it. He had never eaten trifle before, and can't imagine that the regular version would be any better.

Hooray! Trust you to come with a CR'd version of trifle! I absolutely LOVE trifle, and will be trying this healthier version of yours soon.
