Ingredients
  • 200 gr sweet cherries, pitted
  • 200 gr tart cherries, pitted
  • 3 Tbs granulated sugar
  • .
  • 1 batch chocolate pastry cream
  • .
  • 200 ml whipping cream
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 7-8 slices chocolate sponge cake
  • .
  • 50 gr grated chocolate
Instructions
  1. Place the pitted cherries and sugar in a medium sized sauce pan, cook for 10-15 minutes on low with the lid on. When cool enough, refrigerate. The fruit will foam up a lot during cooking so take the lid off to release the steam once in a while and whatever you do, don't leave it unattended for too long.
  2. Prapare the pastry cream and chill in the fridge.
  3. Whip the cold cream with the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract, preferably in a bowl previously chilled in the fridge.
  4. Cover the bottom of your trifle bowl with a layer of sponge cake, sprinkle with a few Tbs of the juice and a third of the fruit.
  5. Spread one third of the pastry cream and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat two more times with the same order.
  6. Top it with plenty whipped cream and decorate with cherries and grated chocolate.
  7. Chill for a couple of hours before serving.
Notes
You can make individual servings.

You can use kirsch to soak the sponge cake.
