Chocolate Trifle Quick

🍰 Desserts

Chocolate custard trifle built in minutes, the emergency dinner-party dessert. Cool and creamy, the kind of dessert that calms a big meal down. Make it a day ahead — it only improves overnight.

Prep 23 min Cook 6 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1/3 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Dark Chocolate2 cups, chopped

Optional extras

  • Golden Raisins2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.

  2. 2

    Combine the milk, heavy cream and sugar, stirring until dissolved, then take it off the heat.

  3. 3

    Beat the dark chocolate and sugar together, then ease in the warm milk a little at a time.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.

  5. 5

    Divide between glasses, press clingfilm onto the surface, chill until set, then crown with milk.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
