Recipe - 5 pt Trifle - DELICIOUS

My mom's neighbor, who leads a Weight Watchers group, made this trifle for a party I went to a few months ago. I think I'll make it this weekend.

Oh lordy, is it ever good. And only 5 pts for 1/6 of the recipe, which is a LOT.

ANGEL FOOD TRIFLE
makes 6 servings: 5 POINTS per serving *

The traditional English version of this dessert layers ladyfingers with jam, custard, and heavy cream, along with fruit. This lower-point version is made with a creamy ricotta-vanilla yogurt "custard" to cut calories while increasing calcium.

1 c. skim milk ricotta cheese **
2 c. sugar-free vanilla flavored yogurt ***
1/2 angel food cake, cut into 1" cubes
2 c. thawed frozen unsweetened berries ****
1/4 c. + 2 Tbsp whipped dessert topping *****

  1. Mix together ricotta and yogurt in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  2. Arrange half the cake cubes in the bottom of a medium-size glass bowl.
  3. Top with 1 c. berries.
  4. Top with 1-1/2 cups of cheese/yogurt mixture.
  5. Top with layers of remaining cake cubes, 3/4 c. berries, and remaining cheese/yogurt mixture.
  6. Decorate with remaining 1/4 c. berries.
  7. Top each serving with 1 Tbsp. whipped cream.
