Ingredients

Serves: 1 trifle

1 chocolate swiss roll
1 tin black cherries (drained and stoned)
kirsch (to taste)
1 packet chocolate blancmange (made as per packet)
1 tub whipped to soft peaks heavy cream
chocolate decorations (of choice)

Slice the Swiss roll and place in a large glass bowl.

Spoon cherries over.

Mix cherry juice and kirsch to taste and pour evenly over Swiss roll. (If you prefer you can reduce the juice in a saucepan to the required consistency). Chill.

Pour over cooled chocolate blancmange and make level, chill in fridge.

Pour over cream and smooth over. Decorate to your delight. I use chocolate buttons, crumbled flake bars, home made chocolate curls or even chocolate sprinkles.
