How To Make trifle chocolate cup.

  • 1
    To make the jelly in a medium glass bowl, just follow the instructions of the brand you use . Don't forget to add to the jelly the juices out of the can of strawberries. adds extra sweetness .
  • 2
    Add to the bowl of hot jelly trifle sponge , breaking it up with a spoon through the jelly. Add the fruit and leave to cool before placing in the fridge to set for 2 hours.
  • 3
    Start on the chocolate cups . I would actually suggest that if you are doing this dessert that you could prepare it the night before , barr the fresh cream . That's what I did ..
  • 4
    In a bowl break off a small amount of chocolate at a time. Melt it in the microwave until smooth. With the pastry brush dip it into the chocolate and paint with the chocolate the in side of the silicone case evenly . place all the painted cases on to a patty tray , and place in the fridge for 1/2 an hour until the chocolate hardens . Once chocolate has set , you need to paint a second coat of chocolate on to the cups evenly . Then place back into the fridge to set again , what you are looking for is not too thin of a chocolate cup or you don't want the cup to be too thick neither . It needs to be strong enough to work with to remove from the silicone case with out breaking , yet easily for your dessert spoon to break through ..

    Once the cups are ready , very gently and slowly remove the chocolate cups from the silicone cases ..
  • 6
    Just be fore serving , with a electric hand held mixer . Whip up the fresh cream , you want a thick consistency. on a pate place a chocolate cup and fill with the strawberry trifle, and top it of with a dollop of fresh cream . Just to decorate sprinkle over the cream a small amount of chocolate sprinkles.. This dessert I created for my wonderful mum..x
