Heaven & Hell Trifles
Report
Light and airy, but decadently rich. Fluffy and sweet vanilla cream and angel food cake layered with triple-chocolate pudding and ribbons of dark chocolate ganache, these contradictory Heaven & Hell trifles are the perfect dichotomy and everything you could ever want in a dessert.

Instructions
Pudding
- Will need to chill at least 4-6 hours before serving.
- In medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt.
- Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream.
- Transfer saucepan to stovetop over medium-high heat and whisk ingredients together.
- Whisk ingredients continuously on Medium-high heat until mixture begin to thicken -- as soon as mixture begins to bubble (begins to come to a boil), remove from heat and stir in finely chopped chocolate and butter.
- Whisk until ingredients are smooth and the chocolate and butter are completely melted.
- Allow to set for five minutes then stir in chocolate extract.
- Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a large, heatproof bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Cover the chocolate with clear wrap. Be sure to lay the clear wrap so that it is in direct contact with the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Allow chocolate pudding to cool to room temperature (or at least for 30 minutes) before transferring to refrigerator to chill for 4-6 hours.
Whipped Cream
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer and a large bowl), whisk together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla paste on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Pour into a large pastry bag fitted with a star tip (or you may also use a large Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off -- this will be less decorative).
- Set aside.
Chocolate Ganache
- Prepare ganache by combining chocolate and heavy cream in a small saucepan.
- Melt, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside -- allow to cool at least 10-15 minutes before using in trifle.
- Prepare Angel Food Cake for trifle by cutting into slices and then cutting or tearing into bite-sized pieces.
Assembly
- Spoon an even layer of pudding into the bottom of each glass (about ½" deep).
- Cover with a layer of Angel Food Cake pieces
- Generously drizzle ganache over cake.
- Pipe a layer of whipped cream over ganache.
- Top with another (slightly thinner) layer of chocolate pudding.
- Repeat with another layer of angel food cake, then ganache and then top generously with whipped cream.
- Drizzle with remaining ganache, if desired.
