Indulgent triple chocolate trifle
Serves 4. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: At least 30 minutes to chill in the fridge. Ingredients:
4 x double chocolate chip muffins, crumbled into bite-sized pieces
200g Fairtrade dark chocolate, melted and allowed to cool for 5 minutes
200ml double cream, whipped
100g Fairtrade milk chocolate, roughly chopped or grated
100g Fairtrade white chocolate, melted and allowed to cool for 5 minutes
Assembling your trifle:
NB Use a large serving bowl or individual ramekin dishes for this dessert
First mix the melted dark chocolate with half of the whipped cream and allow to cool completely
Next, line the bottom of the bowl or ramekin dishes with crumbled double chocolate chip muffins
Next pour a layer of the melted white chocolate onto the muffins and allow to cool
Spoon the cream and dark chocolate mixture onto the white chocolate layer
Sprinkle with a layer of chopped milk chocolate
Repeat the process as many time as necessary to fill the bowl or individual serving dishes, make sure you end with the whipped cream and the chopped or grated milk chocolate
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
Note: For a naughty chocolate trifle, soak half of the muffin pieces in a mixture of rum and brown sugar.
Dont forget that if youre diabetic you dont have to miss out, simply substitute the chocolate for the diabetic version and the same with muffins and youre away. Equally, if youre not a fan of chocolate, why not make up your own version with layers of banana, marshmallows, toffees, fudge and whipped cream? For those particularly hot days, a frozen trifle is a cooling and delicious treat, simply load up ice cream, caramel, crumbled chocolate biscuits yoghurt and serve immediately if take out of the freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands.
The healthier alternative
Trifle isnt really supposed to be healthy but if you want all the drama and hardly any of the calories, use low fat crme fraiche or natural yoghurt, chopped dried fruit (bananas, apple, pineapple and mango), low fat digestive biscuits or granola and drizzle each layer with honey this can be as delicious for breakfast as for a summer dessert.
