You can have it.There are plenty of sugar free jellies or you can make your own,fruit-use berries,custard you can make, whipping cream is a zero.Do you need a custard recipe or do you have one?

Easy baked custard with nutmeg.
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
•2 cups whipping cream
•2 eggs
•1/8 teaspoon salt
•2 tablespoons xylitol or sugar replacement
•nutmeg
Preparation:
Beat together milk, eggs, salt, and xylitol. Pour into custard cups; place cups in a pan with hot water nearly to top of custard line. Sprinkle each with nutmeg and bake at 325° for about 40 to 55 minutes, until custard is set. This really depends on depth of the baking dish. A knife inserted in center should come out clean. Makes 4 to 6, depending on size.

  to make an english trifle you use jelly/jello on bottom of a dish..add fruit.let set..pour cooled custard on to the top ..let set..then add whipped cream and sprinkles...let cool in fridge..its a wonderful dessert if you make it right..i just wanted to know how to make it low carb..the type of custard i use you can get in a can but its high carb..i was thinking of using a diabetic custard...i can get hold of that...have you eaten english trifle?..its very moorish i used to eat big helpings of it...
