Lemon Berry Trifle (vegan, gluten free, allergen free) from Kim's Welcoming Kitchen


When you are living with food allergies, trust is crucial. You have to know exactly what is in the food you are eating, and what's absolutely not in there.  

I LOVE the So Delicious company for the confidence that they provide me when I'm offering treats to my food-allergic son or other special diet guests. Their allergy warning is extremely clear about what is and what is not in their products. Not only that, but they test for undeclared allergens for an even greater level of confidence.



I created this fresh and summery Lemon Berry Trifle as part of Go Dairy Free's summer recipe contest, sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free. As a participant in this contest, I received coupons for free product and a gift card for ingredients to create my recipe. All opinions are my own.

21 talented bloggers, authors and recipe creators are whipping up their Coolest and Creamiest treats. All recipes will be shared between July 10th and July 24th (follow the hashtag #RaiseAPint on Twitter and Instagram), and then you will be able to vote on your favorites!

Along with the contest, you can join in the #RaiseAPint Event, which will run from July 11th to August 5th. During this time, So Delicious will award 20 entries with an ice cream party prize pack. Simply share your moment on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter and be sure to use #RaiseAPint! Full Details Here: http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/thrive/raise-a-pint/ 

I used one of my favorite sweet treats, Coco Whip (non-dairy whipped topping), to make this lovely dessert. Trifles are traditionally a combination of cake, fruit and pudding. This trifle is created with a sunny lemon cake, luscious strawberries and Coco Whip that I flavored with lemon zest. Because this trifle is vegan, gluten-free and free of the top-8 allergens, it's an ideal dessert to bring to a summer dinner party.
