In a 10-cup trifle dish, layer 1/3 of the quinoa mixture, 2 tablespoons of almonds, 1/3 of the cran-raspberry mixture, 1/3 of the cookies, and 1/3 of the yogurt mixture. Repeat layers twice. Garnish with remaining raspberries and almonds.
Recipe Tip
To make this dish vegan, substitute coconut yogurt for the Greek yogurt. Use vegan-friendly whipped topping or coconut whipped cream in place of the heavy cream used in the recipe. You can also use maple syrup instead of honey.
