Our rich and decadent chocolate trifle is the perfect showstopping dessert centrepiece for Christmas Day. You can use fresh or frozen cherries for the compote (depending on seasonal availability), but frozen cherries are already pitted, which saves a lot of time! Making a trifle from scratch can seem a bit daunting, but to make it more simple prepare the cake, compote and custard a day in advance, and then just assemble the trifle and whip the cream the day you plan to serve it.
