Ingredients
Scale
600ml double cream
750g brownie bites
500ml chocolate mousse
1 x 397 g tin caramel
500g pitted fresh cherries
Fresh mint sprigs
2 twirls or flakes
Instructions
- Pour the cream into a large mixing bowl and whisk until you have soft peaks - take care not to over whisk.
- Place the brownie bites into the bottom of your trifle dish and pour over a layer of chocolate mousse. Use the back of a spoon, a spatula or palette knife to spread in a smooth and even layer.
- Top with a layer of whipped cream and gently spread to smooth, repeat with a layer of caramel. Sprinkle over the cherries.
- Repeat the layering process until you reach the top of your dish - making sure you finish with a layer of whipped cream.
- Decorate with fresh cherries and sprigs of mint. Crumble over the twirls or flake chocolates. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- Whipped cream: take care to whip the cream just to soft peaks for the decoration - if you over whip, it will split and you will eventually get something akin to butter.
- Splash of liqueur: if making for adults, you can drizzle the brownie layer with a splash of liqueur. Kirsch would be delicious for a nod to Black Forest Gateau, whilst Amaretto or Frangelico would give a delicious nutty flavour.
- Individual servings: you can make individual trifles by assembling in glasses or bowls, if you prefer.
