Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Jaffa biscuits
  • 1 medium orange zest and juice
  • 500 ml Fanta orange soda

Method
 

  1. Place the Jaffa biscuits in a shallow dish in a single layer.
  2. Pour the Fanta evenly over the biscuits, just enough to cover them. Let them soak for 10–15 minutes until softened.
  3. Zest the orange over the biscuits and squeeze in the fresh juice for added flavor and freshness.
  4. Optional: Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer, trifle-like texture.
  5. 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.
