Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups crumbled chocolate angel-food cake (5 ounces)
1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1/2 ounce bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss together cake and brandy, if desired. In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high until foamy. With mixer on medium, gradually add sugar. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 2 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold cocoa powder into egg white mixture.
  • In another medium bowl, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into egg white mixture.
  • Fill each of 4 small glasses with 1/4 cup cake and top with heaping 1/4 cup mousse. Repeat to make a second layer with remaining cake and mousse. Freeze until firm, 3 hours (or up to overnight). Let sit 10 minutes at room temperature, then finely grate chocolate over tops to serve.

This trifle is a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of chocolate mousse, but I loved this trifle! The whipped cream and ladyfingers balanced out the chocolate flavor perfectly.

I would have liked the trifle to be a little more chocolatey. Next time, I'll add more chocolate mousse to the layers.
