If you wanted chocolate cream however you can add 1 heaped tablespoon of cocoa powder! Brownies, cherries and decorationįor the rest of the trifle I used a tub of brownie bites from the bakery aisle, the cherries from the jar of cherries in kirsch, fresh cherries for the decoration, cherry jam, and some grated chocolate and sprinkles. You add the two to a pan and heat together until the chocolate has melted!įor the cream, I used double cream and whipped it together with some icing sugar for a slightly level of sweetness and to stabilise the cream – you can add kirsch to this too if you want but it’s not essential and I didn’t this time. If you want to leave it out, just skip this step.įor the custard, I bought a good quality ready made custard from the chilled aisle – I chop up some dark chocolate finely (it’s good to use dark chocolate even if you don’t like dark chocolate because the flavour lightens a lot in the custard). If not, you can buy kirsch from the alcohol aisle in the supermarket. If you manage to buy the cherries in kirsch jar, you can use the kirsch from the jar to do this. I decided to cut my Swiss roll into 1-2cm thick strips, and drizzle over some kirsch.

I know not everyone who reads my blog consumes alcohol so don’t worry there are kirsch free options as well! But on the flip side, others love a boozy trifle and I get so many comments when I don’t make a boozy trifle that its not just right!įor the base of the recipe I use a jumbo chocolate swiss roll, and brownie bites.You can obviously use chocolate cake, or something you have made yourself but something such as trifle is meant to be quick and easy to make and using ready made ingredients is no bad thing! This recipe has been requested over and over and although there are many amazing recipes out there, I thought I would post my own version on to my blog as you guys seem to want it!įor this recipe it is relatively similar to my Terry’s chocolate orange trifle because I just love how that works together – instead of the orange obviously we have cherry and kirsch. Honestly, I question how I used to think the flavour was icky, because now it’s one of the best. My love has grown and grown for Black Forest related bakes since starting this blog with my black forest cheesecake being one of my favourites, along with my black forest loaf cake. I remember years ago when I went on a family holiday to Switzerland I had a proper black forest gateaux and it was INSANE, and I have loved it since. All of these flavours are my favourite sort of thing to have at this time of year and I am not ashamed to admit I LOVE IT.īlack Forest is the delicious combination of all things chocolate, cream and cherry in my opinion and it is the best. When I think of Christmas I think of chocolate orange, candy canes, gingerbread, cinnamon and black forest. Please see my disclosure for more details!* Chocolate, cherry, kirsch, swiss roll, chocolate custard delicious goodness all make one perfect festive dessert – black forest trifle!
