Easy Fig & Lemon Trifle

This is a simple recipe I came up with recently. It is quick, delicate and light. For something so simple, this easy, low fat dessert consists of high notes of lemon, light vanilla, different textures and ends with the fig's deep, delicate taste. This dessert is simple, yet sophisticated.

Serves two

Ingredients:

1 small package sugar free-fat free JELLO vanilla instant pudding

1 kalamata fig (sliced into small pieces)

2 packages of NABISCO 100 calorie pack short bread cookies

Whipped topping

1/8 cup mascapone cheese

Candied lemon peel

Layer your miniature trifle cup with pudding, cookie crumbs, pudding, rim one layer with fig pieces, pudding, whipped topping and candied lemon. Mint garnish is optional.

For whipped topping: Make sure mascapone is set at room temperature. Gently fold in your choice of store bought, or homemade whipped topping. 1:1 ration. This will give you a lightly sweet, velvety textured whipped cream, which will make this easy dessert taste and feel luxurious. Enjoy!!
