Breakfast Trifle
Trifle is not just a dessert—it can be eaten for breakfast, too. This has as many layers, and is as pleasing to the eye, as a traditional trifle, but it’s made with yogurt, chia seeds, frozen berries, brioche, and granola (store-bought or homemade). A straight-sided trifle bowl is a great way to display the layers of this breakfast trifle, but if you don't have one, any large bowl will do.

Preparation
Step 1
Start by making the chia seed yogurt, so that it can begin to thicken. Put the yogurt into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds, honey, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 2
Place the frozen fruit in a bowl. Add the confectioners’ sugar and orange zest and let the fruit defrost. Drain off the excess juice into a bowl for later. Place the defrosted fruit in the base of your trifle dish.
Step 3
Rip the sliced brioche into pieces and mix with the granola. Spread in a layer on top of the fruit and drizzle some of the reserved fruit juice over this layer.
Step 4
Now spoon on the chia yogurt and allow the trifle to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Before serving, squirt on some whipped cream straight from the can.
