Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Lamingtons
- 3 bars Cherry Ripe chocolate bars
- 300 grams Fresh cherries, pitted
- 85 grams Raspberry jelly crystals
- 250 milliliters Hot water
- 250 milliliters Cold water
- 500 milliliters Custard (store-bought or homemade)
- 300 milliliters Thickened cream
- 2 tablespoons Icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Grated dark chocolate
- 30 grams Shredded coconut
Instructions
Prepare the raspberry jelly according to the package instructions: dissolve the jelly crystals in 250ml of hot water, then stir in 250ml of cold water. Pour the jelly mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set.
Slice the lamingtons into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Chop the Cherry Ripe bars into small pieces and set aside.
Whip the thickened cream with icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set the whipped cream in the fridge until needed.
Once the jelly has set, cut it into small cubes.
In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, begin layering the ingredients: Start with a layer of lamington cubes, followed by a layer of jelly cubes, some of the chopped Cherry Ripe, and a handful of fresh cherries.
Pour a layer of custard over the top, ensuring it fully covers the previous layer.
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Sprinkle the trifle with grated dark chocolate and shredded coconut for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
