Ingredients

  • 170g fresh cranberries
  • 200g cranberry sauce
  • 600g can mandarin segments in mandarin juice, drained and juice reserved
  • 1 double chocolate chunk loaf, cut into cubes
  • 150g bar luxury plain chocolate
  • 850g low-fat custard
  • 140ml double cream, lightly whipped
Serves: 4 Preparation: 260 Cook Time: 30 Total Time: 290min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Place the cranberries in a saucepan with the cranberry sauce and about &# of the mandarin juice. Cook over high heat for about minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool.
  2. While the cranberry mixture is cooking and cooling, place the chocolate cake in a large trifle dish and moisten with the reserved mandarin juice. Sprinkle the mandarins on top.
  3. Break half of the bar of chocolate into a small saucepan and add a little of the custard. Warm gently, stirring constantly, until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the custard. Leave to cool.
  4. Melt the remaining chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave on high for about minutes. Leave to cool but not set. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking parchment. Make a greaseproof paper piping bag and fill with chocolate. Cut off the tip and pipe freehand stars on the parchment. Leave in a cool place to set hard.
  5. Spoon the cranberry mixture over the mandarins then top with the two custards using alternate large spoonfuls. Swirl it with a knife or skewer to give a decorated rippled effect. Chill for at least hours (but up to hours).
  6. To serve, pipe or spoon blobs of cream on to the trifle. Carefully peel the chocolate stars from the parchment and set one in each blob of cream.
