Lisa Stocker, 39, said she was stitched up when she entered the Indonesian island with the drugs disguised as the dessert mix.
"The packages were not mine, but someone else's,” she told Denpasar Central Court. “I was framed.”
Stocker, a mum-of-three, and her partner, Jon Collyer, 39, both from East Sussex, were arrested at Bali’s international airport on February 1.
They had travelled from the UK through Qatar and were arrested in Bali after a routine x-ray at the airport alerted officials to the suspicious packages.
The couple appeared in court with Phineas Float, 31, also of East Sussex, who is accused of receiving the packages in an airport hotel on February 3.
Float was arrested following a police sting operation where they used Stocker and Collyer as lures. All three defendants face death by firing squad if they are found guilty of drug trafficking.
Stocker said she had been given the 17 packets of Angel Delight by a third man who she claimed was a friend in the UK and who instructed her to take the Angel Delight packets to Bali.
"Jon and I had been to Bali twice carrying packages from [him]. I was shocked after finding out it was cocaine," she said.
Her husband said he paid for the Bali holiday himself, saying of the third man: "(He) told me the package contained snacks, such as chocolate, pudding and chips.”
But prosecutor Made Umbara said the man gave Collyer £2,130 to pay for the couple’s accommodation and flights.
The trial continues on Tuesday, June 17.
It comes amid several other cases of British nationals being detained in other countries accused of drug trafficking
