Cappuccino Cherry Trifle Food

SUNNY'S NUNYA BUSINESS CHOCOLATE, CHERRY AND WHIP TRIFLE

Steps:

• For the whipped layer: In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, blend the cream cheese, sugar and soft drink mix powder until smooth. Scrape down the insides of the bowl intermittently to fully mix. Add the whipped topping and mix until one color, scraping down the sides to incorporate. Gently fold in the chopped cherries.
• For the cake layer: Add the reserved cherry water and almond extract to a spray bottle and shake to combine (see Cook's Note).
• Layer the bottom of a trifle dish with one layer of the chocolate cake treats. Spray the cake layer with a few nice spritzes of the cherry water mixture; this shouldn't make them dripping wet--just moist with a light saturation (think about how you use cooking spray). Top the cake layer with half of the whipped layer, then repeat with another cake layer, cherry water spritz and whipped layer. Top with the almonds.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Serve with ice cream or sorbet.

MARY'S ROYAL CHERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• First, make the custard. Tip the caster sugar, cornflour and vanilla into a mixing bowl and add the eggs and egg yolk. Whisk with a hand whisk until smooth and blended.
• Pour the milk and double cream into a pan and heat gently until hot, but do not boil. Pour this over the egg mixture and immediately whisk until blended. Wash the pan to remove any scum from the milk and pour the custard back into the clean pan. Heat gently, stirring constantly until thickened. Don't panic if the custard starts to look lumpy as it thickens, just continue to heat and whisk until the custard is thick and smooth. Pour into a jug and cover the surface of the custard with cling film to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside to cool.
• Tip the stoned cherries into a pan with half the jam or conserve and cook over a medium heat for 5-10 mins until softened and saucy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
• Spread half the slices of Madeira cake generously with the remaining cherry jam. Sandwich with the remaining cake slices, then cut in half. Pour the kirsch or brandy into a shallow bowl, dip each sponge sandwich into the liqueur, then arrange in the base of the trifle dish (you will need a shallow, straight-sided, 20cm round glass dish about 5cm deep). Line the edges of the dish first to create a stripy effect, then fill in the centre with the remaining sandwiches, pouring over any remaining liquid.
• Spoon over the cherries and any juice from the pan, then scatter over the broken biscuits. Pour over the cooled custard, then spread whipped cream over the top. Decorate with fresh whole cherries and chill for a few hours, or make it a day ahead and chill for up to 24 hours before serving.
