Ingredients
- 3 double chocolate chip muffins (or triple)
- 3 -4 3 -4 tablespoons raspberry jam or 3 -4 tablespoons cherry jam
- 680 g morello cherries (stones removed)
- 2 -3 tablespoons brandy
- 1 - 1 1/2 kg custard (pre made)
- 150 g dark chocolate (good quality with a high cocoa content)
- 284 ml double cream
- 60 g crumbled Cadbury Flake chocolate bars
Method
- Drain the cherries reserving a little syrup (approx 2-3 tbsp).
- Put them in a bowl without the reserved syrup and pour over the brandy, leave overnight.
- Slice each muffin horizontally three times and spread each slice with jam.
- Re-build the muffins then cut into quarters as best as you can, this is rather messy. Put these into the bottom of your trifle bowl.
- Put the cherries on top of the muffins and pour over the brandy from the marinade. If the muffins are not moist enough use the reserved cherry syrup as required.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and put in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt the chocolate, do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
- Put the custard in a bowl and add the melted chocolate, mix thoroughly and spoon over the cherries.
- Whisk the cream into soft peaks and spoon it on top of the custard.
- Crumble the flake bars and sprinkle over the cream.
- This tastes better after leaving it to sit for a couple of hours to let the flavours meld together.
