FAQ

Can this chocolate raspberry trifle be made in advance?

Yes, you can definitely prepare this trifle ahead of time. Just put together the layers as suggested. Then, keep it in the fridge for up to a day before serving. This helps the flavours mix well, making the dessert tastier.

Can I use a different fruit instead of raspberries?

Certainly! Raspberries give a lovely sharp taste to the trifle, but feel free to use any fruit you like. Try strawberries, blackberries, or bananas for a twist.

What can I use if I don’t have champagne for the whipped cream?

No champagne? No worries. You can use another sparkling wine or a fizzy, non-alcoholic juice instead. The aim is to bring a bubbly lift to the whipped cream, adding a fancy touch to your dessert.

Can I make this trifle without using store-bought cake or brownies?

Absolutely! Although ready-made chocolate cake or brownies save time, baking your own cake is a great idea. Feel free to try different cake or brownie flavours to make the trifle your own.

Can I make this trifle without alcohol?

Of course! If you’d rather not use alcohol, simply skip the champagne in the whipped cream. Just use regular whipped cream instead. The trifle will still be wonderfully rich and enjoyable.
