"BLACK FOREST" TRIFLE
Not your normal British trifle. I think this originated from a Delia Smith recipe but its been passed around so much by word of mouth that it probably doesn't resemble the original recipe in any way. Its a great recipe to personalise to your own taste, prefer more or less base not a problem; more chocolate, fine; whatever suits you and yours. I've never written this down before and usually just go by taste and texture but a girl at work has asked for the recipe so I'm having a go at putting it on paper, although I never usually measure the ingredients so please forgive if I cock it up :) Like I say, do it your own way.

Steps:
- Drain the cherries reserving a little syrup (approx 2-3 tbsp).
- Put them in a bowl without the reserved syrup and pour over the brandy, leave overnight.
- Slice each muffin horizontally three times and spread each slice with jam.
- Re-build the muffins then cut into quarters as best as you can, this is rather messy. Put these into the bottom of your trifle bowl.
- Put the cherries on top of the muffins and pour over the brandy from the marinade. If the muffins are not moist enough use the reserved cherry syrup as required.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and put in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt the chocolate, do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
- Put the custard in a bowl and add the melted chocolate, mix thoroughly and spoon over the cherries.
- Whisk the cream into soft peaks and spoon it on top of the custard.
- Crumble the flake bars and sprinkle over the cream.
- This tastes better after leaving it to sit for a couple of hours to let the flavours meld together.
