Categories     Desserts

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup whole milk
1 can cream
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons dark chocolate chip
7 oz chocolate pound cake, cut into 1/2 in
½ cup chocolate sandwich cookie, finely crushed
½ cup chocolate caramel candy, chopped
fresh raspberry, for garnish
fresh mint leaf, for garnish
chocolate spoon, optional, for serving
2 wide-mouth mason jars

Steps:

  • Make the pudding: In a medium pot, combine the milk, table cream, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt and whisk together until evenly incorporated. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until starting to thicken and bubble up, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla. Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Whip with an electric hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large tip and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Make the chocolate ganache: Add heavy cream to a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute, until very hot. Add the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small tip. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Assemble the trifles: Transfer the chocolate pudding to a piping bag fitted with a large tip.
  • Add about ½ cup of the pound cake cubes to the bottom of each jar, pressing down to compact. Pipe about ¼ cup of chocolate pudding and ¼ cup of the whipped cream on top. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and 2 tablespoons chocolate caramel candy bars on top. Repeat to make a second layer with the remaining ingredients. Finish with a drizzle of chocolate ganache and garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint. Serve with chocolate spoons.
  • Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Chocolatey Trifle:

  • Pick the Finest Ingredients: Elevate your trifle with top-notch ingredients, using premium-quality chocolate brands and freshly whipped cream.
