Ingredients

• 5 cups (850 g) mixed frozen berries
• 1 tsp (5 mL) orange zest
• ¼ cup (64 mL) orange juice
• 1 cup (250 mL) water
• ¼ cup (64 mL) granulated sugar
• 1 package Italian ladyfinger cookies
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) sliced almonds, toasted

Preparation

1. In a saucepan combine berries, orange zest, orange juice, water and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and continue to cook until liquid in the pot has reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely, about 1 hour.
2. In a trifle dish, add two layers of cookies. Top with 2½ cups Astro Original yogurt and three-quarters of the berry mixture. Top with another 2½ cups of yogurt. Repeat once more with cookies, yogurt and berries. Top with sliced almonds.
3. To toast almonds, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
