Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
- 750 ml double cream
- 4 tbsp Irish Cream Liqueuer (optional)
- 250 g Mascarpone Cheese
- 4 packets SuperValu Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 250 g SuperValu Raspberries quartered figs redcurrants or cherries
- 500 ml SuperValu Vanilla Custard vanilla
- 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
Cooking Instructions
- Pour the custard into a pan and break all but one square of the chocolate in. Place over a gentle heat and stir until the chocolate melts. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
- Place the mascarpone in a really large bowl with the vanilla seeds and beat briefly to soften a little. Pour in the cream and whisk until soft peaks form. This is easiest with an electric mixer or whisk. Fold through the Irish cream liqueur, if using.
- Spread one-sixth (about 100g) of the cooled custard onto the base of a 20cm-wide trifle bowl that’s at least 14cm deep. Arrange eight of the cookies in an even layer on top. Spread one-sixth (about 160g) of the mascarpone mixture on top in an even layer. Repeat until you have six layers of cookies, finishing with a layer of the creamy mascarpone mixture. Chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight. This can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.
- When ready to serve, finely grate the remaining chocolate over the top. Arrange the fresh fruit in a pile in the centre and go wow your guests!
