Ingredients

200g dark rye bread crumbs 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 200g tart jam (lingonberry or cranberry) 300ml heavy cream 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Mix the bread crumbs with sugar and cinnamon. Toast them in a pan for a few minutes until fragrant. Let cool. 2. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. 3. In glass bowls or a large trifle dish, create layers: toasted bread crumbs, then jam, then whipped cream. 4. Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with whipped cream. 5. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) to allow the bread to soften. 6. Garnish with a few berries or chocolate shavings before serving.
