In fact, you can use pretty much whatever fruit you want – get creative!

I live in Spain and I don’t think I can get the fat free banana custard. Is there another alternative??
Sharon FitzpatrickWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Louise, this recipe uses fat free Banana and Custard Muller Light Yogurt for the custard layer. If you have trouble finding it in Spain , you could make your own low fat custard for the trifle. We have a recipe for custard on the website, just type it into the search bar and it will come up. Hope this helps!

Could you use fat free yoghurt instead of cream ?
GillianSunday 8th April 2018
M sure I read somewhere that someone put some gelatine in the banana and custard yoghurts, am I mistaken? Can’t seem to find it now and wondered what quantities?
