Ingredients

Gingerbread:

6 tablespoons butter, softened

1/4 cup Sugar In The Raw®

1/4 cup Stevia In The Raw®

3/4 cup molasses

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup boiling water

Butterscotch Sauce:

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup Stevia In The Raw®

1/2 cup heavy cream

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Sugar In The Raw®

1 1/2 teaspoons Stevia In The Raw®

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. Beat butter with Sugar In The Raw® and Stevia In The Raw® until creamy. Beat in molasses and egg.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt; mix on low.
  4. Pour in boiling water and mix on low until combined.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  6. Make the Butterscotch: Melt butter in a saucepan. Add brown sugar, Stevia In The Raw®, cream, and salt; whisk smooth. Bring to a gentle boil and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
  7. Make the Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream with Sugar In The Raw® and Stevia In The Raw® on high until stiff peaks form. Chill until needed.
  8. Assemble the Trifles: Divide half the gingerbread cubes among 10 small jars. Top with butterscotch sauce and whipped cream. Repeat with remaining gingerbread, sauce, and cream.

Notes

Add a pinch of nutmeg to the gingerbread for deeper spice.

Fold mascarpone into the whipped cream for extra richness.

Add crushed gingersnaps or toasted pecans for crunch.

Use lightly sweetened Greek yogurt for a lighter option.

Assemble just before serving for firmer layers.
