Ingredients
🥛 1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
🥫 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
🌴 10 Medjool dates
🌰 1/2 cup almonds (raw or roasted)
🥜 1/2 cup crushed pistachios
🥥 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
🍪 16 ladyfingers
🥛 1 cup milk
Instructions
1- Prepare the Whipped Cream:
- Begin by whisking together 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk.
- Beat the mixture for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches stiff peaks.
2- Prepare the Fruits and Nuts:
- Remove the pits from the 10 Medjool dates and chop them into small pieces.
- Chop the almonds to your desired size.
- Crush the pistachios if they aren't already crushed, and have your coconut flakes ready.
3- Layer the Ladyfingers:
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a shallow plate.
- Snap each ladyfinger in half and briefly dip them in the milk.
- Place two milk-soaked halves at the bottom of each serving cup to form the first layer.
4- Layer the Ingredients:
- On top of the ladyfingers, add a layer of the whipped cream mixture.
- Sprinkle a combination of chopped dates, coconut flakes, chopped almonds, and crushed pistachios over the cream.
- Repeat the layering process: add another set of ladyfingers, then whipped cream, followed by dates, coconut flakes, almonds, and pistachios until the cup is full.
5- Refrigerate and Serve:
- Allow the trifles to sit in the fridge for about an hour, which will soften the ladyfingers and let the flavors meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful Klecha-inspired trifle!
