Description
A delicious layering of chocolate and custard, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) vanilla custard
- 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp Nutella
- 1 lb (450g) chocolate Swiss roll cake, sliced
- 3 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
- 10 Oreos, roughly chopped
- 2 cups (500ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp Baileys
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate syrup to drizzle
- Chocolate shavings
- Maltesers or chocolate truffles
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Pour the custard into a bowl and add chopped chocolate and 2-3 heaped tablespoons Nutella. Heat in the microwave for one minute, stir and heat for another minute.
- Stir together until the chocolate melts and custard is smooth. If you have time you can chill the custard while you prepare the rest of the trifle.
- Slice the Swiss Roll and line the bottom and sides of a trifle bowl (or a large glass bowl). Cut small pieces of cake to wedge in any small gaps.
- Drizzle the Baileys over the cake – it will absorb quickly.
- Pour the custard over the cake-lined trifle bowl and chill (if you have time).
- Scatter the chopped Oreos over the custard.
- Put the powdered sugar, cream, Baileys and vanilla in a large bowl and use a hand mixer to whisk on very low speed to combine. Increase the speed to maximum and whisk until you have medium-firm peaks. You can also do this in a stand mixer.
- Pipe (or spoon) the cream over the trifle. If you are making this in advance then chill after you pipe the cream and add any toppings just before you serve.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup, scatter with chocolate shavings, Maltesers and dust with icing sugar.
Notes
- Chilling the custard will enhance the flavors and texture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of Baileys according to your preference.
- This dessert can be prepared a few hours in advance for convenience.
