Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Godiva chocolate bar (dark or milk)
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tsp Instant coffee powder
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 loaf Angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Almonds, sliced
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Butter, unsalted
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional garnish)
- 2 tbsp Chocolate shavings (optional garnish)
Instructions
Break the Godiva chocolate bar into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whip 1 3/4 cups of the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate in batches until fully incorporated and smooth. Cover and refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour to set.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in the hot water. Allow to cool to room temperature before using.
Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
To make the almond praline, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns amber in color. Add the toasted almonds and stir to coat. Transfer the almonds to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden. Once cooled, break into small pieces.
To assemble the trifle, begin by placing a layer of angel food cake cubes at the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Drizzle the coffee mixture lightly over the cake cubes.
Spread a layer of the Godiva chocolate mousse over the cake. Sprinkle a handful of almond praline pieces on top.
Repeat the layering process (cake, coffee, mousse, praline) until the trifle dish is full or all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mousse.
Optionally, top the trifle with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for garnish.
Chill the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold and enjoy!
