Lovers of British lifestyle are of course familiar with the famous English dessert classic ‘trifle’, whose roots dating back to the 16th century. The layered dessert consists of sponge cake, cream, fruit, possibly jam and custard (Crème anglaise). We also add mint chocolate, transforming the custard into a creamy chocolate and mint pudding. This dessert has a refreshing chocolate and mint flavour and, layered in pretty glasses, is the glamorous end to any meal.

01
For the chocolate sponge cake, beat the eggs with the sugar until creamy. Mix the flour with the cornflour, cocoa and baking powder and gently fold into the egg mixture.
02
Spread the sponge mixture 2 cm high on a baking tray and bake in a preheated convection oven at 170 °C for approx. 12 minutes. Leave to cool and cut out 12-15 circles the size of the dessert glass
03
For the chocolate pudding, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, 3 tbsp milk and cornflour until smooth. Bring the rest of the milk to the boil in a pan and stir in the egg mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens.
04
Roughly chop the chocolate and melt in the pudding. Stir until smooth and leave to cool.
05
For the vanilla cream, whip the cream until stiff. Stir in the mascarpone, icing sugar, vanilla and finely chopped mint leaves.
06
For the layering, first pour 1 tbsp of chocolate pudding into each glass, then place a chocolate sponge cake on top. Next, add 1 tbsp of the vanilla cream, then start again from the beginning until the dessert glasses are full.

Finally, garnish with coarsely chopped chocolate chips and mint leaves or sprigs. Chill until ready to serve.
