Chocolate Raspberry Trifle

Serves: 12
½ cup heavy cream (yields 1 cup of whipped cream)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

2 cups low-fat chocolate pudding (use store-bought or make your own)
¼ cup chocolate-covered almonds, chopped
½ pint fresh raspberries
Equipment: large glass serving bowl or trifle dish

Using a whisk or electric mixer, whip cream with 1 teaspoon of sugar until stiff peaks form– set aside. Place 1/3 of the angel food cake in the bottom of the trifle dish in one even layer.
