A little about this dish

A bold and vibrant fusion of sweet and savory, our Cajun Blackberry Trifle showcases the not-so-classic-but-delicious combination of spicy biscuits layered with tangy blackberry compote and a smooth creole cream. This dessert is a flavorful adventure that will dazzle your taste buds.

Ingredients (for 4)

Blackberries — 2 cups — reserve some for topping
Sugar — 1 cup — divided
Water — 1/4 cup
Heavy cream — 2 cups
Vanilla extract — 1 tsp
Ground cinnamon — 1/2 tsp
Ground nutmeg — 1/4 tsp
Ground clove — 1 pinch
Spicy cajun biscuits — 8 — crumbled
Powdered sugar — 1 tbsp — for dusting

Preparation

Step 1 — 🍇🍯🔥

Combine blackberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and water into a saucepan. Over medium heat, let it simmer until berries break down and the syrup thickens, creating a compote. Once done, allow it to cool.
Step 2 — 🥣🍦🌶️

In a bowl, beat heavy cream with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the spices (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) until it forms soft peaks. This is your creole cream.
Step 3 — 🍪🍓🥛

Begin assembling the trifle by layering crumbled spicy biscuits at the bottom of the dish. This is followed by a generous spoonful of both the blackberry compote and the creole cream layer.
Step 4 — 🔁🥄🍰

Continue layering using all components (spicy biscuits, blackberry compote, creole cream), making sure to end with a creole cream layer on top.
Step 5 — 🍓🍚❄️

Top the trifle with some reserved blackberries and dust it with powdered sugar. Allow it to chill for around 2 hours before serving.

A final fox tip

This Cajun Blackberry Trifle can be made even more unique with an addition of a splash of bourbon in the blackberry compote to provide a deeper, more complex flavor. You can also make a kid-friendly version by substituting Cajun biscuits with regular ones. They'll love helping with the trifle layering!
