This trifle should be stored in the fridge and it will last 2-3 days. Can this trifle be made gluten free? As I posted my lemon trifle recipe recently, I didn’t really want to post one that was too similar and therefore a bit pointless. This one has a mainly chocolate base, with no jelly – but it is still SO good. I started the recipe off with chocolate Swiss roll, which was ready made from the supermarket, but you can of course make your own. It’s always a battle between what easter chocolates are better, usually between mini eggs and Creme Eggs… and whilst I definitely have my favourite, both are delicious ingredients for easter baking. My Creme Egg cupcakes are always super popular, along with my Creme Egg loaf cake.
There are various recipes for a creme egg trifle around, as well as one being sold in shops sometimes – but I just wanted to post a recipe for a creme egg trifle that was essentially my dream combination of ingredients, and here you have it. Yes, it’s sweet, but it’s a chocolate trifle. But the good news is, Easter is just around the corner. Well, if the corner was located approximately three months away…
Troubleshooting
This trifle has a chocolate brownies base. You can either make the brownies from scratch, or use a box mix, or buy ready made brownies.
To start, make the chocolate custard. Warm some ready made custard in a pan on a low heat, then add some milk chocolate and stir until it melts into it. Then put it in the fridge to cool completely with cling film over it. If you can easily find ready made chocolate custard then you could use that instead to skip this step. Every now and again I will get a comment insulting me for using shop bought ingredients that are ready made; and I just don’t understand why. I write my recipes for others, some who have absolutely no baking skill whatsoever, some that have little time, some that don’t have a massive budget and so on… and sometimes, it’s just easier. Of course, if you want to make all of the bits entirely yourself, go for it as that is amazing!! Obviously I had to include some Creme Eggs, because that is the entire point of the trifle (I mean, if you don’t want to include them you don’t have to), but I fear that may miss the point aha! And I used some whipped cream. I split my whipped cream slightly by having a majority as normal vanilla whipped cream, and then coloured some orange for the decoration on the top. I made homemade brownies for the brownie layer, but you can of course use shop bought if it's easier. In a trifle dish, start with the layer of brownie pieces.
How long does the trifle last for and how should it be stored?
Oh my god, you better have got me one when you went to the supermarket,” said another tagging their other half.
