Ingredients

  • 3 slabs (100g each) dark chocolate, chopped  
  • ½ cup (125ml) steaming-hot cream 
  • 1 cup (250ml) Nutella 
  • 1 cup (250ml) cream 
  • 1 tub (250g) mascarpone, whisked 
  • ¼ cup (60ml) icing sugar 
  • 1 cup (250ml) strong coffee 
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) brown sugar 
  • 3–5 Tbsp (45–75ml) Kahlúa (optional) 
  • 1 packet (100g) boudoir biscuits 

 

For serving: 

  • Cocoa powder  
  • Chocolate balls or toasted, chopped hazelnuts  

 

Method

  1. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour over steaming-hot cream. 
  2. Allow to melt for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Set aside to firm up at room temperature. 
  3. Microwave Nutella for about 30 seconds until runny, then set aside for 5 minutes. 
  4. Whisk cream with an electric whisk until stiff peaks form, about 5–6 minutes. 
  5. Add cooled Nutella, whisking until smooth. Chill in fridge.  
  6. Whisk 1 tub mascarpone and icing sugar until spreadable. Set aside. 
  7. Combine coffee, sugar and Kahlúa, if using, stirring to dissolve. 
  8. To assemble, dip ½ packet (50g) boudoir biscuits in coffee mixture and use to line the base of a 22cm x 18cm high trifle bowl. 
  9. Top with ⅓ mascarpone mixture, ⅓ chocolate ganache and ⅓ Nutella mousse, and top with the remaining boudoir biscuits. 
  10. Repeat to create 3 layers. Serve dusted with cocoa powder and topped with chocolate balls or toasted, chopped hazelnuts.
