Reserve remaining chocolate for garnish.Ĭombine pie filling and almond extract in the Small Batter Bowl set aside 1/2 cup for garnish. Chop 1 1/2 of the chocolate bars using the Food Chopper. Loosen the brownie from the sides of the bar pan and invert onto the flat side of Large Grooved Cutting Board. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies spread batter over bottom of Large Bar Pan. I’m not sure whether I should be admitting that.Preheat oven to 350☏. On the other hand… At GFHQ (such is the simplicity of its preparation), we have been known to enjoy Chocolate Cherry Trifle as a bog standard mid-week pudding too. A dessert that says we’re special, but with very little effort. Layered in simple glasses, the contrasting colours and textures are both inviting and beautiful. Given its sophistication, my Black Forest Trifle is the ideal dessert to dress the table of dinner parties, or to serve at celebrations, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So, if at all possible… give it a go! When to serve Black Forest Trifle (Gluten Free or not) I do know however, that the recipe shared here for chocolate cake is perfect for Black Forest Trifle in both texture and flavour. Many gluten free sponges are dry and crumbly, so judge for yourself on that one. That is, providing the sponge is suitably moist in the first place. To be honest, with the chunky cherry sauce on the top, the trifle doesn’t really need either.
In the past, to make a non-alcohol, child-friendly version, I have instead drizzled cherry juice over the sponge, or alternatively (at Miss GF’s request) a little chocolate ice cream sauce. It takes Chocolate Cherry Trifle beyond the very 70’s texture of what always seemed like a brightly coloured children’s dessert and into the 21 st century as something altogether more sophisticated.Ĭan I make Black Forest Trifle without Kirsch?Īlthough it is tradition that all things ‘Black Forest’ have Kirsch somewhere in the recipe, if making Chocolate Cherry Trifle for children, it would be wise to leave it out. The Mascarpone softens the sweetness of the custard (which is shop-bought) as well as adding creamy richness. Second, for decadence and the sheer joy of eating it. It’s whipped into the custard for two reasons… First, to thicken and stabilise the layers, so that they remain distinct. Why add Mascarpone to custard?Īs with my recipe for Gluten Free Black Forest Cake, this Black Forest Trifle uses Mascarpone.
For Black Forest authenticity however, be sure to use a Black Cherry filling. It will be sweeter for sure (there is always way too much sugar added to commercial pie fillings), but it’s a back-up if needed. And with that in mind, it’s definitely worth making.Īs with the chocolate cake however, if you can’t be bothered to make cherry sauce or are in need of a dessert in a hurry, there is the option to sub with tinned or jarred cherry pie filling. It’s not difficult and is quick to whip up… Even better, it will take your Chocolate Cherry Trifle to a superior level. The recipe for Black Forest Trifle shared here offers a homemade Chunky Cherry Sauce. If you don’t need a gluten free cake, just make chocolate sponge you know you love… I’ve shared my favourite recipe in the recipe card below, to make it as straight forward as possible. It will be less sweet and have a better texture than anything you’ll find in the supermarket. I thoroughly recommend pushing the boat out however and making gluten free chocolate sponge from scratch. So if buying one, be sure to check the ingredients list for any hidden gluten or cross-contamination risk. A chocolate loaf cake or even a decent brownie will work fine.įor those of us who are Coeliac ( Celiac) or who have to avoid gluten for health reasons, it’s really important to make sure the cake is gluten-safe. If making cake from scratch isn’t your thing (although I promise it’s very easy to do), then simply buy one ready-baked. And to be honest, making the cake is the trickiest part of any trifle… On the other hand, since it’s being cubed and layered, it doesn’t have to be a pretty cake or even home-made. The Black Forest Trifle recipe shared in this post is amazing whether gluten free or not… The only special difference, is whether you need gluten free cake.
