Instructions
-
Start by cutting your brownie cake into small, even cubes. Set them aside.
-
In a saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, and water.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Remove the cherry compote from the heat and let it cool completely before assembling the trifle.
-
Empty the sachets of chocolate-flavored whipped cream powder (or plain whipped cream powder + cocoa) into a mixing bowl.
-
Add very cold milk. It's crucial that the milk is cold to ensure proper whipping.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream mixture thoroughly until it becomes thick and forms soft peaks. You can adjust the consistency by adding a tiny bit more milk if needed.
-
In a clear trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, start with a layer of brownie cubes at the bottom.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the cooled cherry compote over the brownie layer.
-
Add a generous layer of the chocolate cream on top of the cherry compote.
-
Repeat the layers (brownie, cherry compote, chocolate cream) until your bowl is full.
-
Place the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours to chill thoroughly. This allows the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
-
Serve chilled.
