Keto Springtime Blueberry Trifle Cups
Spring is almost here, so we are busy cooking up our favorite Keto springtime recipes! As the name suggests, this Keto springtime fruits recipe is perfect for the spring season. It has a mixture of freshness from the blueberries and just the right amount of tang from the lemon-flavored chia pudding. It is just as delicious as it looks.
What is a trifle?
A trifle is a traditional English dessert made of multiple layers of sponge cake, jelly, custard, and fruit, topped with a generous amount of whipped cream. It can be customized to suit one’s taste and is popularly enjoyed during festive celebrations. This classic dessert may appear sophisticated yet very simple to make. A trifle isn’t generally considered Keto-friendly. However, with a few adjustments, trifles can easily be Keto-friendly and still delicious. This Keto springtime blueberry trifle has a rich and smooth texture with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the blueberry compote and silky chia pudding.
How do you store these Keto springtime mini blueberry trifles?
Since traditional trifles usually consist of fresh fruits and custard, they are always stored in the refrigerator. Similarly, this Keto springtime fruit recipe consists of chia pudding made from heavy cream; therefore, it is best to keep it in the fridge. Ideally, placing the assembled trifle cups in the refrigerator to chill for some minutes before serving usually deepens the flavor. Storing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days will give the same result. However, the longer it stays in the fridge, the more the biscuit layer becomes soggy. Therefore, it is best to enjoy it within a day or two.
Can you use fresh fruits instead of a berry compote?
Yes, you can use fresh fruits. The berry compote provides a liquid, once cooked, that seeps into the crumbled biscuits, giving the biscuits an infused berry flavor. However, if you prefer fresh berries, cut them into pieces, coat them with some granulated sweetener, and allow them to macerate before assembling. That way, the berries will release some of their sugars and form a syrup that will seep into the crumbled biscuit once assembled.
How many cups does this recipe yield?
This recipe makes 4 small trifle cups. The volume of the glasses used is 4 oz or 120 ml. You can also use larger glasses or serve in a large trifle bowl.

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add the egg, sour cream, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Then add in the almond flour and baking powder. Mix to combine using a spatula.Step 3
Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter into 4 biscuits on the baking tray. Ensure they are evenly spaced. Do not flatten the biscuits.Step 4

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries and 1 tbsp granulated erythritol. Allow the blueberries to cook for about 4 minutes until they release their juice. Stir occasionally to ensure the blueberries don't stick at the bottom. Turn off the heat and allow the blueberry compote to cool down.Step 6
Assemble the trifles by breaking the biscuits into pieces at the bottom of the dessert glass. Then add about 2 tbsp of the blueberry compote followed by 3 tbsp of the chia pudding.

This was pretty easy to make. I enjoyed the little “shortcake” type biscuits with the pudding consistency and the blueberry compote. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because 1/2C blueberries did not give me enough for this yummy treat. I just added another 1/2C blueberry compote to the 4 servings I had in a mason jar. I will definitely be making this again.
