Vegan strawberry trifle

A trifle is a traditional English dessert made out of layers of sponge cake, custard, and fresh or baked fruits.

What you will need to make this vegan strawberry trifle

  • Soy milk or any plant milk. I am using Alpro original soy milk, and it works perfectly.
  • Cornstarch to thicken the custard.
  • Sugar for sweetness. You can use any granulated sugar, coconut, cane, or caster sugar.
  • Vanilla extract to add flavor.
  • Orange blossom water compliments the flavors of strawberries.
  • A pinch of sea salt to balance out the flavors
  • Coconut milk to add creaminess and lighten the custard.
  • Fresh strawberries. You can use any fresh berries or fruit you like.
  • Vegan graham crackers or biscuits. Leftover cake works wonderfully too. Use gluten-free if needed.

How to make this vegan strawberry trifle perfectly every time

Start by making the custard. The custard needs some time in the fridge, so if planning on making this trifle ahead of time, you can make it the day before.

  • To make the custard, add soy milk to cornstarch in a saucepan and whisk to combine.
    Add your sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, orange blossom water, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk to combine and cook on medium-high heat.
    Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and simmer while stirring to avoid burning.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer into a bowl.
    Cover the surface of your pudding with plastic film to avoid the formation of skin on top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best result.
  • Whip your coconut cream until nice and fluffy, then add your chilled custard and whisk to combine.

Prep your fresh strawberries.

  • Wash your strawberries thoroughly and dice them into cubes. Keep some strawberries whole or cut in half for garnishing.

Make your ground graham crackers layer.

  • Ground your vegan graham crackers in a food processor. If using a cake, dice it into small cubes.

Assemble your strawberry trifle by layering ground graham crackers (or cake), custard, then diced fresh strawberries. Repeat this process and finish off with a layer of custard.
Garnish with the rest of your strawberries

    I ♥️ this recipe so much!!! I’ve made it for birthdays and many special occasions. The strawberry version is lovely but I’ve also made it with frozen dark sweet cherries – substituting almond extract for the orange blossom water. I also made it richer using an entire can of coconut cream. What a timeless, classic dessert, gorgeous to look at and so easy!
