Creamy Black Forest Trifle Recipes

Steps:

• Put about half of the pound cake cubes into the bottom of a glass trifle bowl; top with 1 can cherry pie filling, half of the hot fudge, and 2 cups whipped topping. Repeat layers.
• Drizzle some of the hot fudge over the top layer of whipped topping. Dollop small amounts of the cherry pie filling decoratively over the whipped topping.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Drizzle liqueur over cake cubes in large bowl; toss to coat.
• Beat pudding mixes and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min.; stir in 1 cup COOL WHIP.
• Reserve a few cherries for garnish. Place half the cake cubes in 2-qt. glass bowl; top with layers of half each of the remaining cherries and pudding mixture. Repeat layers.
• Refrigerate 2 hours. Top with remaining COOL WHIP and reserved cherries just before serving.

Steps:

• Put the custard into a pan with the chocolate pieces. Gently heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted into the custard. Cover with cling film and cool.
• Arrange the brownies in the base of a trifle bowl. Drain the jars of cherries, reserving the liquid, and scatter over the brownies. Drizzle over 100ml reserved liquid. Spoon the cooled chocolate custard over and chill while you make the topping.
• Lightly whip the cream with the crème fraîche and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to serve, then pile on top of the trifle and decorate with grated chocolate and fresh cherries, if you like.

Steps:

• Bake cake according to package instructions. Cool. Cut 6 by 8 into 1½" squares.
• Drain cherries and reserve juice. Add enough orange juice to cherry juice to equal 1 3/4 cups.
• Heat juice and 1 cup of sugar to a light boil. Reserve remaining 1/2 cup of sugar for whipped cream.
• Blend cornstarch with water. Add to boiling juice. Blend with a wire whip to thicken.
• Add cherries and cook for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature and add Chambord. Chill to 40°F or less.
• Whip mousse mix with cold milk and refrigerate to thicken slightly. Mix well with wire whip.
• Whip heavy cream on medium speed. Add remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and vanilla extract and whip until cream forms soft peaks.
• Assemble in an 8" round, 5" deep glass trifle bowl.
• Line the bottom of the bowl with 1 layer of chocolate cake cubes. Fit cake cubes tightly against sides of bowl. (This should take approximately half of the cake.)
• Spread a layer of the cherries and sauce over the cake cubes, making sure they're visible against the side of the bowl. Then add a layer of mousse. Repeat the layers of cake, cherries, and mouse. Reserve 5 to 9 cherries for garnish.
• Spread a layer of whipped cream over the top and garnish with the remaining cherries, along with chocolate shavings (if desired).
