Ingredients

  • Gingerbread:
  • Softened butter 6 tablespoons
  • Raw sugar ¼ cup
  • Stevia powder ¼ cup
  • Molasses ¾ cup
  • One egg
  • All-purpose flour 2 cups
  • Baking soda 1 teaspoon
  • Ground ginger 1 teaspoon
  • Cinnamon powder 1 teaspoon
  • Sea salt ½ teaspoon
  • Boiling water ½ cup
  • Butterscotch Sauce:
  • Butter ¼ cup
  • Brown sugar ¼ cup
  • Stevia powder ¼ cup
  • Heavy cream ½ cup
  • Sea salt ¾ teaspoon
  • Vanilla essence 2 teaspoons
  • Whipped Cream:
  • Heavy cream 1 cup
  • Raw sugar 1 tablespoon
  • Stevia powder 1 ½ teaspoons

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a 9-inch square baking pan lightly. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend butter, Sugar In The Raw®, and Stevia In The Raw® until they form a creamy mixture. Incorporate molasses and egg into the blend. Next, add flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt on a low mixing speed. Gradually pour in water while the mixer is running at a low speed, remember to scrape the sides of the bowl when necessary. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Allow it to cool entirely before cutting it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

For the butterscotch sauce, start by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, Stevia In The Raw®, cream, and salt, whisking until well combined. Let the mixture gently boil and cook for approximately 5 minutes, remembering to whisk occasionally. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the butterscotch to cool down to room temperature.

Step 3

In a spacious bowl, whip cream, Sugar In The Raw®, and Stevia In The Raw® on high speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 1 minute. Remember to keep the whipped cream chilled until you are ready to assemble the trifle.

Step 4

To assemble the trifle, divide half of the gingerbread cubes among 10 individual serving dishes or jars. Top them with a portion of the butterscotch sauce and whipped cream, then add the remaining gingerbread cubes, followed by more butterscotch sauce and whipped cream.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your gingerbread pieces fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  2. 2. To maintain the fluffiness of your whipped cream topping, refrigerate it in a covered bowl until ready to use.
  3. 3. Store your homemade butterscotch sauce in a glass jar in the refrigerator to keep it from becoming too thick.
