01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9-inch square pan. In a bowl, beat together butter, Sugar In The Raw®, and Stevia In The Raw® until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the molasses and egg, mixing well. Gradually blend in the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt on low speed. Then slowly add the water, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed until everything is combined. Pour the batter into your pan and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely before cutting into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2
While the gingerbread bakes, make the butterscotch sauce. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in brown sugar, Stevia In The Raw®, cream, and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a gentle boil and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set it aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 3
Next, whip the cream with Sugar In The Raw® and Stevia In The Raw® until stiff peaks form—this should only take about a minute. Keep the whipped cream chilled until you’re ready to put everything together.

Step 4
To assemble, spoon half of the gingerbread cubes into your serving dishes or jars. Drizzle some butterscotch sauce over the cubes, then add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, more sauce, and finish with a final dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve this dessert in clear glasses or bowls to showcase the beautiful layers. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for extra texture.
Storage & leftovers
Store the trifle covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep it chilled to maintain the layers and prevent sogginess. Before serving, give it a gentle stir to refresh the flavors.
