Sixth, Trifle With Blackberries: Afternoon Tea Recipes. 

The wonderful thing about trifle is it can be adapted to meet all dietary preferences including vegetarians or vegans.

This recipe contains ground almonds and blackberries which are both packed with dietary fibre and good for gut health. Blackberries are a rich source of anthocyanins which give them their deep purple colour.

Anthocyanins in blackberries have been shown to modulate gut bacteria and may have an important anti-inflammatory effect on the body. 

These Winter Trifle With Blackberries are adorable but they do not just have to be for winter.

Try adding summer berries in them instead. Winter Trifle With Blackberries. So good for Sunday tea. You might need some little Trifle Glasses. So good.
