Finished with crumbled Flake chocolate and a dusting of icing sugar, this trifle is best served chilled after a few hours of refrigeration, letting all the flavors meld beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie

  • 1 boxed brownie mix (e.g., Countdown’s Own Brand)
  • 2 eggs
  • 80ml vegetable oil or melted butter

Fruit and Sauce

  • 300g frozen raspberries
  • 3 Tbsp caster sugar
  • 250g punnet strawberries, sliced
  • 125g punnet fresh raspberries

Dairy and Toppings

  • 500ml cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 600g readymade custard
  • 1-2 Flake chocolate bars, crumbled
  • 1 Tbsp icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Preheat the oven and prepare the boxed brownie mix according to packet instructions using the eggs and vegetable oil or melted butter. Bake the brownies as directed. For best results, bake the day before and allow to cool completely.
  2. Cut Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into 1-inch squares and divide into 3 equal portions. Set aside.
  3. Make Raspberry Sauce: Place frozen raspberries and caster sugar into a microwave-safe glass jug. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well. Repeat microwaving for another minute and stir again. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before assembling the trifle.
  4. Assemble Layer 1: In a large trifle dish or serving bowl, layer half of the sliced strawberries evenly on the bottom. Pour over a third of the cooled raspberry sauce. Scatter the first layer of brownie pieces over the sauce. Gently spoon half of the whipped cream over the brownies spreading evenly.
  5. Layer 2: Pour a layer of custard over the whipped cream, smoothing it to the edges with a spoon. Add another third of the raspberry sauce followed by the second layer of brownies.
  6. Layer 3: Top with the remaining sliced strawberries. Pour over the remaining custard and smooth to edges. Add the final third layer of brownies and drizzle over the last of the raspberry sauce.
  7. Finish and Decorate: Spread the remaining whipped cream on top smooth. Decorate with crumbled Flake chocolate bars, fresh raspberries, and a light sprinkle of icing sugar.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set nicely before serving.

Notes

  • This dessert can be prepared a day in advance to save time on the day of serving.
  • Use fresh or good quality readymade custard for best flavor.
  • The raspberry sauce can be strained if you prefer a smoother texture, but the seeds add a nice rustic touch.
  • Feel free to substitute Flake chocolate with other crumbled chocolate of your choice.
  • Keep the trifle refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.
