Black forest trifle
and it's a luxurious twist on the classic trifle. Layers of creamy chocolate custard, morello cherries and brandy soaked chocolate muffins come together to create some true dessert magic!
Ingredients
- 6 store bought chocolate muffins
- 1 jar morello cherry jam
- ½ cup cherry brandy
- 2 pots store bought vanilla custard 900g, room temperature
- 250 g 50-60% dark chocolate melted
- 300 ml cream
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- ¼ cup dark cocoa powder
Instructions
- Remove the paper from the muffins, then roughly crumble into the base of a trifle bowl (not crumbling too finely). Spoon and spread 1/2 of the cherry jam over the muffins, then pour the brandy evenly over the top and leave to macerate for 15 minutes.
- Scoop the custard into a bowl, then whisk in the melted chocolate until combined.
- Spoon the custard into the trifle bowl and spread evenly over the muffins and cherry mix. Spoon over the remaining cherry jam.
- Whip the cream to soft peaks with the vanilla, then spread over the top of the trifle. Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours.
- Just before serving, dust with cocoa powder and grate the remaining chocolate over the top.
