CHOCOLATE TRIFLE BROWNIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Put the custard and chocolate in a saucepan. Gently heat, stirring, until the chocolate has completely melted into the custard. Cover the surface with cling film to stop the custard forming a skin, then cool.
• Sit the brownies in a trifle bowl and mix together the coffee with the 1 tbsp Irish cream liqueur. Drizzle all over the brownies. Use a rolling pin or saucepan to gently bash the bag of Maltesers a few times to crush a little, then sprinkle about three-quarters over the brownies. Spoon the cooled chocolate custard all over the top, then cover and chill.
• Make the final layer by combining the cream and 100ml Irish cream liqueur in a bowl. Sift over the icing sugar, then whip until soft peaks form. Cover and chill until you’re ready to serve.
• To serve, give the cream a quick mix, then spoon on top of the chocolate custard. Scatter over the last few crushed Maltesers to decorate.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt to combine. Slowly whisk in milk and cream. Turn on heat and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add white chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Whisk until white chocolate melts and mixture is blended. Scrape pudding into a bowl and press plastic wrap over the surface. Refrigerate until chilled. Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9”-x-13” baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, prepare brownie batter according to box instructions and mix in additional egg until smooth. Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely. Make whipped cream: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in a stand mixer using the whisk attachment), beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Assemble trifle: Cut brownie into large cubes. Spoon a thin layer of whipped cream into bottom of trifle dish. Top with a layer of brownie, then white chocolate filling, then ½ cup crushed candy canes and whipped cream. Repeat twice more.  Garnish with crushed candy canes and white chocolate shavings.
