How to Make Dairy Free Berry Trifle

  1. **Meringues:**
  2. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gradually add ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, beating until thick and glossy.
  6. Gently fold in ⅓ cup (60g) granulated sugar.
  7. Spread meringue evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 1-1.5 hours, or until crisp and dry. Let cool completely.
  9. **Custard:**
  10. In a saucepan, gently warm 2 cups (480ml) unsweetened rice milk and ½ cup (120ml) water. Do not boil.
  11. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  12. Whisk in ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch.
  13. Gradually whisk in the warm milk mixture.
  14. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  15. Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and let cool completely.
  16. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  17. **Trifle Assembly:**
  18. Spread 1/4 cup seedless berry jam over 12 ladyfingers.
  19. Arrange the ladyfingers in a layer at the bottom of a trifle bowl.
  20. Top with 1 ½ cups of mixed berries.
  21. Crumble half of the meringue over the berries.
  22. Spoon half of the cooled custard over the meringue.
  23. Repeat layers: ladyfingers, berries, meringue, custard.
  24. Top with remaining ladyfingers.
  25. Whip 1 cup (240ml) dairy-free whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top layer.
  26. Garnish with fresh berries.
