You could easily divide the amount between 3 portions of about 100g each.
*** The sugar free strawberry jam really lifts the recipe. For a quick substitution simply mash or blend some strawberries with 1 teaspoon of powdered sweetener and add a pinch of ground chia seeds or xanthan gum to thicken.
Let the shortcake trifle rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This also allows the jam to seep into the shortcake, which makes it lovely and moist.
Option to scale up the recipe and make one large sugar free trifle.
