Ingredients
- 85g coarse oatmeal flour
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 100g golden powdered sugar
- 3 Bramley apples (about 800g total), peeled, cored and cut into 2cm wedges)
- 2 scoops of ginger in syrup, 1 chopped, 1 shaved
- 700 g pink rhubarb, cleaned and cut into thumb-length pieces
- 284ml and 142ml cups of double cream
- 600 ml pot of ready-made vanilla pudding
- about 300 g ginger cake (store-bought), cut into thick slices
- 1 tbsp ginger wine
Preparation steps
- Heat the oats, ground ginger and half the sugar in a non-stick frying pan until the sugar begins to caramelize and toast the oats, stirring frequently. Tip onto non-stick baking paper to cool and then break into crumbly nuggets. Prepare up to 2 days in advance and store in an airtight container.
- Place the apples in a large saucepan and then add the chopped ginger, 50ml water and the remaining icing sugar. Bring to a simmer, then simmer gently for about 7 minutes, adding the rhubarb halfway through cooking, until soft but not mushy. Add more sugar if desired and let cool. Prepare up to 1 day in advance and store in the refrigerator.
- Lightly whip the cream and fold half of it into the cream.
- Line the bottom of a large serving bowl with cake, sprinkle the wine over the top, then spoon over the fruit, allowing the excess juice to drain.
- Add a layer of oat flakes, cover with the custard and finish with the remaining cream, ginger slices and oat flakes.
- Best put together just before serving. Each element can be prepared the day before and then layered for consumption.

Health Benefits of Rhubarb, Apple and Ginger Crunch Trifle
The Rhubarb Apple Ginger Crunch Trifle not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also offers several health benefits. Let’s take a closer look at the key ingredients and their benefits:
rhubarb
Rhubarb is a low-calorie vegetable that contains several essential nutrients. It is an excellent source of fiber that promotes healthy digestion and prevents constipation. Rhubarb is also rich in vitamins C and K and offers antioxidant properties that boost the immune system and support healthy blood clotting.
Apples
Apples are full of fiber, especially a soluble fiber called pectin. This type of fiber helps lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels, making apples a good choice for people with diabetes or at risk for heart disease. Apples also contain vitamins A and C and antioxidants, which promote overall health and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Ginger
Ginger has long been used for its medicinal properties. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and protect against cell damage. Ginger also promotes digestion, relieves nausea and can have a positive effect on relieving muscle pain and soreness.
oatmeal
The coarse oatmeal used in this recipe gives the trifle a delicious crunch and nutritional value. Oatmeal is a whole grain that is high in fiber and contains important minerals such as manganese, phosphorus and magnesium. It is known to support heart health, regulate blood sugar levels and provide sustained energy release.
Vanilla pudding and double cream
The use of vanilla pudding and double cream gives the trifle creaminess and richness. While these ingredients are high in calories and saturated fats, they also provide a good amount of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth.
Ginger cake and ginger wine
The ginger cake and ginger wine give the trifle a nice spicy touch. Although these ingredients are not particularly nutritious, ginger itself adds a unique flavor and, as mentioned above, offers health benefits.
