Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (470 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 cups (300 grams) fresh mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) milk chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) chocolate cake, cubed
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (10 grams) cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
Cooking and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks emerge, creating a luxurious base for the trifle.
- Create a smooth chocolate mixture by melting dark and milk chocolate with butter using a double boiler, stirring continuously until fully integrated and glossy.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, preventing potential cream deflation during mixing.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate, creating a harmonious, velvety chocolate cream with gentle, sweeping motions.
- Select elegant serving glasses and construct a visual symphony by layering chocolate mixture, soft chocolate cake cubes, and vibrant mixed berries.
- Continue building alternating layers, ensuring each component is evenly distributed for a balanced flavor profile.
- Crown the trifle with a final flourish of fresh berries, creating an enticing visual finish.
- Optional: Dust the surface with a delicate veil of cocoa powder for added sophistication.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, allowing the flavors to intertwine and intensify, transforming the dessert into a decadent masterpiece.
Notes
- Whip cream just until soft peaks form to avoid over-beating, which can make the texture grainy and less smooth.
- Use room temperature berries for more intense flavor and to prevent chilling from dulling their natural sweetness.
- Melt chocolate slowly and gently to maintain its glossy texture and prevent burning or seizing.
- Create dairy-free version by substituting coconut whipped cream and using vegan chocolate for a plant-based alternative that’s equally indulgent.
