  • Total Time: 30 minutes (plus chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Chocolate Orange Custard

  • 150 g Terry's chocolate orange
  • 500 ml readymade custard

Whipped Orange Cream

  • 450 ml double cream
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cointreau

Chocolate Orange Swiss Roll

  • 1 jumbo chocolate Swiss roll
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 3-4 tbsp Cointreau

Everything Else

  • 2 tins mandarin segments (or fresh slices from an orange)
  • 1 Terry's chocolate orange
  • Grated chocolate (for decoration)
  • Orange zest (for decoration)
  • Festive sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Carefully melt 150g of Terry's chocolate orange until smooth, taking care to avoid burning.
  2. Prepare Chocolate Orange Custard: Pour 500 ml readymade custard into a bowl, add the melted chocolate, and mix until smooth. If the mixture is lumpy, heat gently in a pan over low-medium heat while stirring until fully smooth.
  3. Make Whipped Orange Cream: In a bowl, whisk 450 ml double cream with 2 tbsp of Cointreau, 2 tbsp icing sugar, and the zest of one orange until soft peaks form.
  4. Prepare Swiss Roll: Slice the jumbo chocolate Swiss roll into 1-2 cm thick slices.
  5. Flavor Swiss Roll: Sprinkle the Swiss roll slices with 3-4 tbsp Cointreau and the juice of one orange, allowing them to soak slightly.
  6. Build the Trifle Base: Arrange slices of Swiss roll around the edge and bottom of the trifle bowl.
  7. Add Custard Layer: Pour half of the chocolate orange custard over the Swiss roll slices, spreading evenly.
  8. Add Mandarin Segments: Layer 2 tins of mandarin segments on top of the custard, adding more Swiss roll slices if desired.
  9. Add Remaining Custard: Pour the rest of the chocolate orange custard over the mandarin and Swiss roll layers.
  10. Top with Whipped Cream and Decorate: Spread the whipped orange cream over the top. Decorate with Terry's chocolate orange slices, grated chocolate, extra orange zest, and festive sprinkles.
  11. Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for a period to allow it to set, so the custard thickens slightly, creating the perfect consistency.
  12. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, the trifle is ready to serve and enjoy as a deliciously festive dessert.

Notes

  • Use readymade custard for a quick and easy preparation.
  • Adjust the amount of Cointreau according to your preference or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Fresh mandarins can replace canned segments for a fresher taste.
  • Allow the trifle to chill for at least 2 hours for best flavor and texture.
  • Be gentle when melting chocolate to avoid burning or seizing.
  • This recipe serves well for a large dinner party or festive gathering.
