It’s quick, fun, nostalgic, and perfect for last-minute entertaining or a unique family treat. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g Jaffa biscuits
- 1 medium orange (zest and juice)
- 500 ml Fanta (orange soda)
Instructions
- Place the Jaffa biscuits in a shallow dish in a single layer.
- Pour the Fanta evenly over the biscuits, just enough to cover them. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes until softened.
- Zest the orange over the biscuits and squeeze in the fresh juice for added flavor and freshness.
- Optional: Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer, trifle-like texture.
- Serve as is, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For a more balanced citrus flavor, reduce the Fanta slightly and add more fresh orange juice.
- Best served the same day, though it can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Great served in individual glass cups or a clear trifle dish for presentation.
- Add toppings like chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or whipped cream for variations.
