Recipes your mother taught you

Dreamy Chocolate Trifle
By iVillager hipchik2000

This is a wonderfully simple recipe which was given to me by my late mother who died five years ago at a young and energetic age. She loved to cook but her favourite recipes were always the simplest and most chocolatey.

1 chocolate swiss roll
3-4 tbsp cherry brandy or crème de cacao
2 x 250ml cartons double cream
150g bar chocolate, melted
grated chocolate or crumbled flake, to decorate

1. Slice the swiss roll and place the slices in a deep bowl.
2. Pour over about the liqueur. Beat 1 carton of double cream until stiff, add the melted chocolate and mix well. Spread this over the swiss roll.
3. Beat the second carton of double cream, pour this over the chocolate cream and smooth out.
4. Sprinkle the top with grated chocolate or crumbled flake, chill for 1 hour and serve – amazing.
