Chocolate Trifle
Layer 1: Sponge layer
Lay 15 sponge fingers at the base of the bowl. Pour in just enough orange juice to
soak the sponge fingers whilst retaining their shapes.
Layer 2: Chocolate ganache
Melt a cup of cooking chocolate over a bowl of boiling water. Add milk and stir gently
until it resembles the consistency of glue. Set it aside to cool.
Layer 3: Custard layer
Pour hot water a little at a time into 120g of custard powder and stir until a thick and
smooth consistency. Set it aside to cool.
Layer 4: Fruits
Peel and slice 1 orange.
Layer 5: Whipped cream
Whip 250ml of cream until it forms soft peaks. Whilst whipping, add a capful of
vanilla essence and 2 tbsp of icing sugar.
Layer 6: Caramelized orange peels
Cut the orange peel into strips. Stir in heated pan to dry them out over medium heat.
Add 1-2 tbsp of brown sugar onto the peels. As soon as the peels are coated with
melted sugar, turn off the heat and set to cool.
When components for layer 2, 3, and 6 are cooled, assemble the trifle
starting from layer 1.
