Cointreau Chocolate Trifle image

Decadent, redolent of oranges & bittersweet chocolate, this Cointreau laced dessert nicely caps an evening with friends. Adjust Cointreau to taste - we've been known to tip a wee dram onto servings once plated!! Thank you Mean Chef for awesome pastry cream recipe Recipezaar #37669)! Time to make includes making pastry cream (make it - it's worth it!). Start 3 hours ahead of serving to make the aforementioned pastry cream - I fast chill in the frezer for 25 minutes with Saran wrap on surface to prevent a skin from forming & once chilled proceed with rest of recipe - goes fast after this step! Bon Appetite!!

I had some trouble finding ladyfingers at my local grocery store, but I was able to find them online. They're definitely worth the effort to find, because they add a nice touch of texture to this trifle.

This trifle was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use a semisweet chocolate instead of a milk chocolate.

This trifle was a little too time-consuming to make for a weeknight dessert. I think it would be better suited for a special occasion.
