Ingredients

Fruit

  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup raspberries
  • 6-7 large strawberries diced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

Crumble

  • 9 Sprouts graham crackers 1 sleeve
  • 1/3 butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Sprouts sugar

Cheesecake

  • 8 oz cream cheese 1 package
  • ¾ cup Sprouts powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Sprouts vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • Watermelon optional

Instructions

Prepare the fruit

  • Combine fruit in a bowl with 1 tbsp. of honey or sugar, then stir well and set in the fridge until ready to use.

Make the crumble

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add crackers to a plastic zipper type bag and crush (with a rolling pin).
  • In a medium sized bowl, melt butter, and then add crushed graham crackers and sugar. Stir well, then spread onto a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes.
  • Allow to cool while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Cheesecake

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon zest and blend well.
  • While slowly mixing, add (cold) heavy cream slowly, then whip until smooth and increased in volume by almost double.

Assembly

  • Begin assembly by adding 1-2 tbsp. (cooled) crumble to the bottom of 4 (1/2 pint sized) jars.
  • Add a layer of cheesecake, then a layer of fruit.
  • Repeat layers, as desired, depending on the jars or dishes you’re using.
  • If desired, add watermelon star garnish by using a star shaped cookie cutter to cut starts out of a large slice of watermelon. Add watermelon stars to paper straws and garnish your trifles.
  • Refrigerate trifles for 15 minutes before serving, or up to 6 hours.

Notes

To make one large trifle - Double the crumble portion, and triple the fruit and cheesecake portions.
If you need to make this a truly no-bake dessert, feel free to omit the step of baking the crumble. The crumble will still be perfectly delicious, just not quite as crispy.
