Choc-cherry trifles

This simple cherry trifle has the flavours and colours of Christmas.

Method

Step 1

Place port wine jelly crystals in a heatproof jug. Add 1 cup boiling water. Stir to dissolve crystals. Stir in 200ml cold water. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour 30 minutes or until just beginning to set (it should have a thick, syrupy consistency). Repeat with strawberry jelly crystals.

Step 2

Arrange lamington pieces in six 1 1/2 cup capacity glasses. Drizzle with liqueur. Spoon port wine jelly on top. Top with cherries.

Step 3

Place cream and icing sugar in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Top trifles with half the cream mixture. Top with strawberry jelly. Top with remaining cream mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Top with chocolate. Serve.
