Ingredients
- 500 g | 1lb 1oz store-bought vanilla custard (or pudding mix)
- 150 g | 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or chocolate, finely chopped)
- 3 tbsp Nutella
- 450 g | 1 lb Swiss roll cake , sliced
- 3 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream or coffee
- 10 Oreos , roughly chopped
- 500 ml | 2 cups double (heavy) cream
- 200 g | 1 ½ cups icing sugar
- 3 tbsp baileys
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- chocolate syrup , to drizzle
- chocolate shavings , to decorate
- Maltesers or chocolate truffles , to decorate
- icing sugar to dust (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the custard into a bowl and add chopped chocolate and 2-3 heaped tablespoons Nutella. Heat in the microwave for one minute, stir and heat for another minute.
- Stir together until the chocolate melts and custard is smooth. If you have time you can chill the custard while you prepare the rest of the trifle.
- Slice the Swiss Roll and line the bottom and sides of a trifle bowl (or a large glass bowl). Cut small pieces of cake to wedge in any small gaps.
- Drizzle the Baileys over the cake - it will absorb quickly.
- Pour the custard over the cake-lined trifle bowl and chill (if you have time).
- Scatter the chopped Oreos over the custard.
- Put the icing sugar, double cream, Baileys and vanilla in a large bowl and use a hand mixer to whisk on very low speed to combine. Increase the speed to maximum and whisk until you have medium -firm peaks. You can also do this in a stand mixer.
- Pipe (or spoon) the cream over the trifle. If you are making this in advance then chill after you pipe the cream and add any toppings just before you serve.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup, scatter with chocolate shavings, Maltesers and dust with icing sugar.

Notes
- The trifle will keep in the fridge for a couple of days - best made one day in advance or on same day you are serving.
