Vegan Lockdown Trifle; Easy, Gluten-free, No-added Sugar

Vegan Linseed trifle

Vegan, light, quick & healthier

I know there are lots of vegan creams around but most are based on coconut and I avoid saturated fats. I could make a cream from cashew nuts but this is so much easier and being rich in omega-3 is much healthier.

Gluten-free & Healthier by Far

Using ground linseed instead of sponge means no gluten, so this is an easy gluten-free dessert, Also no saturated fats but Cold-pressed Linseed oil means the dessert is creamy and rich in omega-3 .  Ground linseed gives you a good helping of tummy-friendly fibre. The fibre also slows down the absorption of sugars from the fruit and makes the dessert even healthier.  I never use ordinary sugar, usually, stevia extract instead mean this is a sugar-free pud if possible. This is so healthy it can even be used for people following the Budwig Diet.

No need for sponge or flour

Since lockdown it has been very hard to find flour which means there’s a shortage of sponge but Flax Farm Ground Golden Linseed Flaxseed works brilliantly instead.
