Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch round Chocolate cake (pre-baked or store-bought)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 500 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 grams Fresh raspberries
- 50 grams Chocolate shavings
Instructions
Start by preparing the chocolate mousse. Add 200 grams of chopped dark chocolate to a heatproof bowl.
Heat 250 milliliters of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate.
Allow the chocolate to sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip 250 milliliters of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the cooled chocolate mixture to create a light, fluffy mousse. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cut the chocolate cake into 1-inch cubes.
In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, assemble the trifle by starting with a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom.
Top the cake layer with a generous layer of chocolate mousse, followed by a layer of fresh raspberries.
Repeat the layers until the dish is full or you run out of ingredients, finishing with a mousse layer on top.
Garnish the trifle with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings for a beautiful presentation.
Chill the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
