Chocolate Trifle
This chocolate trifle involves no cooking, yet minimum effort here means maximum taste!
Ingredients
- 4 chocolate chip muffins You could use double chocolate chip if you want an extra chocolatey flavour
- 200 grams white baking chocolate
- 500 grams readymade custard
- 450 ml double cream
- 2 Flake chocolate bars
- 4-5 strawberries
- 5-6 raspberries
Instructions
- Crumble the muffins into your trifle serving dish. Gently position them into a layer, however do not compress them too hard
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl. You can do this in the microwave, by using short blasts and stirring or in a glass bowl placed on a pan of boiling water on the hob. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Then mix the melted chocolate in with the custard and 150ml of the fresh cream. Make sure it has been stirred through well.
- Then pour this over the sponge base in the trifle bowl.
- In another bowl, whip the remaining 300ml of cream until firm. You do not want to overwhip the cream that it becomes so stiff you can not make the cream layer in the trifle.Once the chocolate custard is cool, put the cream over the custard. Smooth it out to make a smooth layer. Or if you are feeling more adventurous, you could pipe it over the custard.
- Then with a rolling pin, hit the Flake chocolate bars on a shopping board, with their wrappers still on. Once you can feel the chocolate has crumbled in the wrappers, open the wrappers and sprinkle the chocolate flake over the cream. Depending on the width of you bowl, you might not need the full two flakes.
- Then wash and slice the strawberries finely. You can place these and the raspberries randomly to your preference, to make a pattern for decoration purposes.

Notes
- Make sure the custard is cool before adding the layer of cream, otherwise the cream will lose it's firmness after being whipped and become runny. This will ruin the look of the trifle.
- When adding the strawberries and raspberries, make sure they have been thoroughly dried. Any water on the fruit will dissolve the cream, again ruining the look of the trifle.
