Ladies, you have given me something to do for the weekend tea now, and yes I might be taken up to a load of other foods as well.

If you are going to use an orange liquor for the chocolate sponge, segmented oranges are nice placed on top of . Then try mixing mascapone with chocolate custard, whip together untill thick and creamy,spoon on top of oranges, decorate with grated chocolate, . Whip up some double cream add the grated rind of an orange ane pipe onto top of trifle. Decorate each swirl with a piece of orange and 2 angelica stalks. You will want to make this time and time again. Good luck.

We do one that is quite wicked and certainly not for the dieter!

Put broken up double choc muffin (not too small bits though). Drain tin/jar of cherries reserving the juice/syrup and put the cherries in with the muffin. Add some liquer (whatever you prefer, rum, brandy, kirsch, etc) to the cherry juice and then spoon over the muffin so that it soaks in. Make some chocolate custard (we found making it is better than using the bought variety as the latter doesn't really set enough) and put this on top of the muffins and cherries - allow to set. Lightly whip some cream and mix in some mascarpone - put on top of custard when it is set. To finish grate some dark chocolate on top (or use chocolate curls).

If you go back onto the uk food website and type in Raspberry chocolate brownie trifle you should get the recipe it is by Sue Lawrence,I hope this will be of some help

Hi mine is a marks's swiss roll, tin of morello cherries over inc the juice with a liquer of what every you fancy. custard made with white chocolate and then wipped cream with dark chocolate shavings on top. and a few almonds and cherries. yummy

I make a kind of one.
Sliced up chocolate cake or a chocolate swiss roll in the bottom spinkled with chocolate lumps/piece any will do, a measure of orange liquir (if wanted) cover with chocolate custard and a layer of whipped cream either spread or piped (piped is easier) and sprinkle with chocolate pieces/flakes/sprinkles.
If you want you can put a layer of whipped cream over the sponge before the custard.
Hope this helps as I made it up one day.
