Break up the gingerbread cake, or cut out circles of it, and layer it in the bottom of your serving glasses (the ones I used have a capacity of 220ml), then drizzle some of the ginger syrup over the cake and add some pieces of the stem ginger
Pour a layer of the dairy free custard on top
Add another layer of ginger cake, syrup, stem ginger pieces and another layer of custard
Whip up the dairy free double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract until thick
Add it on top of the custard, you can pipe or spoon it on, then stick a gingerbread man in the top and sprinkle over some of the gingerbread man crumbs
Serve immediately, eat leftovers within 2 days

You can get shop bought vegan gingerbread cake from Sainsburys, Ocado or from the Amazon link below in the recommended ingredients section. There are a couple of ready made vegan gingerbread cakes on Amazon, and a cake mix. Or you can use my Vegan Gingerbread Loaf Cake recipe.
The flavour of the trifles is really made by the cake, so I do recommend either making it or buying a good quality one. The ginger syrup is optional, but it does add that extra ginger flavour punch!
I used whipped coconut milk for the topping. You can also use any other dairy free cream alternative that can be whipped up.
I used 220ml serving glasses for this recipe.
If you can't find mini gingerbread men (I got mine from Tesco) you can use any vegan ginger biscuit like ginger nuts for example. Or you can try my Vegan Gingerbread Men recipe!
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
