    1 Make jelly according to packet instructions, then pour evenly into four 350ml-capacity glasses. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.

    2 Meanwhile, place 250g strawberries and half the raspberries in a food processor and process until smooth. Strain berry mixture through a fine sieve, discarding solids. Refrigerate sauce until required.

    3 Place dates, pecans and almonds in a small bowl, mixing to combine. Top set jelly with date mixture. Spoon yoghurt evenly over date mixture.

    4 Combine remaining berries and crumbled meringue in a small bowl, then layer over yoghurt. Spoon over some of the berry sauce, then serve trifles topped with a meringue and fairy floss.

    HFG tip
