Ingredients

Chocolate Custard

  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 500 ml ready made custard

Orange Custard

  • 500 ml ready made custard
  • 1 tsp orange food colouring

Whipped Cream

  • 450 ml double cream
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Orange Whipped Cream

  • 150 ml double cream
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp orange food colouring

Other

  • 6-12 large Creme Eggs
  • 1 or 2 jumbo chocolate swiss roll (300-600g)
Grams - Ounces

Instructions

  • Add one batch of the ready made custard to a pan, and add the dark chocolate.
  • Melt on a low heat until the chocolate chips have melted, leave this to cool.
  • Add the other batch of custard to a bowl, and colour this orange.
  • Add the first batch of double cream to a bowl, add the icing sugar, and whisk to soft peaks. 
  • Add the smaller batch of double cream to another bowl, add the icing sugar and food colouring, and whisk to soft peaks.
  • Slice your chocolate swiss roll into 1-2cm size slices. 
  • Start building your trifle - I put the slices of the swiss roll around the edge of the trifle bowl at the bottom, and a few on the bottom as well. 
  • Pour over the chocolate custard and spread.
  • Add in halves of Creme Eggs and push them into the sides of the bowl, and add 1/2 of the white whipped cream.
  • Add another layer of chocolate Swiss roll slices on top of the cream.
  • Pour over the orange coloured custard.
  • Pipe on the rest of the white whipped cream around the edges of the bowl, and add the orange coloured cream to the middle.
  • Leave it to set a bit in the fridge so the custard isn't as runny. Enjoy!
