Earlier this month, I introduced you to one of Liberté Yogurt’s new flavors, Cappuccino. Today, I’d like to introduce another – Caramel. This yogurt is a delight with pure melted caramel and rich milk. Yum. This is without a doubt one of my most favorite yogurts ever.

When you think of trifle, you probably don’t think of yogurt first, do you? But when I heard about Liberté’s new caramel flavor, trifle was the first thing that popped into my mind. And pears! Fresh, juicy pears.

My next thought was of how I could combine that luscious, decadent Liberté caramel yogurt with fresh pears and put a little Southern spin on it. My solution was pound cake and peanut brittle resulting in this Pear and Caramel Yogurt Trifle.

I used quite a few purchased ingredients for this recipe, but if you wanted to make them individually from scratch you could. I took a good quality purchased pound cake, cut it into slices, buttered it, cubed it and toasted it for a few minutes. The buttering and toasting only added to the richness of the cake.

I also purchased some peanut brittle and a salted caramel ice cream topping. Those could easily be made in your own kitchen but I was all about saving time with this recipe.

How to Make Pear and Caramel Yogurt Trifle

Prepping pound cake for Pear and Caramel Yogurt Trifle

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter one side of each slice of pound cake and cut into 1” cubes.

Lightly toasted pound cake for Pear and Caramel Yogurt Trifle

Place the cubes on a baking sheet and cook until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool.

Liberte Caramel Yogurt

You’ll need two containers of luscious Liberté Caramel Yogurt for this recipe. You’ll also need to go ahead and peel and core the pears and cut them into cubes about the same size as the pound cake cubes. Whip the cream and sugar to soft peaks and break up the peanut brittle into pieces about the size as the cubes of the pound cake and pears.

Creating layers for Pear and Caramel Yogurt Trifle

Using four individual serving glasses, make two layers beginning with the pound cake, Liberté caramel yogurt, peanut brittle, pears, and caramel topping.

Top with whipped cream

  1. This really is the kind of dessert I love to make, especially when time is short, just pulling what I have in the fridge and pantry and turning it into a wow dessert! That’s what this is! And the possibilities are endless, depending on what one has on hand. Beautiful!

  2. Kellie @ The Suburban Soapbox says:

    What a great combination! I love this yogurt…it’s amazing.

  3. Carol at Wild Goose Tea says:

    I love trifles. I am surprised that you don’t find them more often in restaurants—-probably parfaits would serve up better—and you don’t find those often either. I think they are super elegant. You bring one of those spectacular desserts out to flash your guests and I am sure one would be Queen for a night.

  4. Connie | URBAN BAKES says:

    I love how simple this recipe is. Perfectly proportioned for each person in their own serving glass!

    1. Lana Stuart says:

      It does help with portion control, Connie! Otherwise, I’d be tempted to eat half the recipe.

  5. Milk and Honey says:

    Love this. Caramel and pears are a match made in heaven,

    1. Lana Stuart says:

      Yes, they are a lovely combination aren’t they?

  6. That looks like the most delicious thing that I have seen in a while. I offer a prediction that it will appear on my table in the near future!

  8. Thalia @ butter and brioche says:

    i can never go past a good trifle, love that you used yogurt.. definitely perfect for summer. yum!

    1. Lana Stuart says:

      Thanks, Thalia. The yogurt added a lovely richness to the trifle.

  9. Lizzy (Good Things) says:

    Sounds quite divine, though I’d love it even more with ingredients made from scratch.

  10. Marjory @ Dinner-Mom says:

    Such a pretty trifle! I have a weakness for caramel..and peaches…well, for something just like this!

  11. Alexis @ Upside Down Pear says:

    This is such a cute dessert idea! I love the fresh pears and toasted pound cake combo. I’ll have to keep my eye out for the caramel yogurt. That sounds delicious just by itself!

    1. Lana Stuart says:

      It is, Alexis! Really fantastic yogurt.

  12. Ginny McMeans says:

    What a great mixture of ingredients. I love that you toasted the pound cake too!

    1. Lana Stuart says:

      Thanks Ginny. Toasted pound cake is a southern thing that I’ve enjoyed all my life so I thought why not include it in this trifle. Worked great!

  13. claire @ the realistic nutritionist says:

    I could definitely eat this for breakfast, right now.

    1. Lana Stuart says:

      I may or may not have done just that :-)

  14. Crystal Barrett says:

    I could lick that glass clean!!!!
