Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cookie Layer: Blitz your chocolate cookies in a food processor until they achieve a fine crumb texture. Mix with melted butter if using, then press into the base of a trifle bowl or individual cups.
  2. Make the Chocolate Pudding: Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a saucepan. Gradually add hot milk, stirring continuously. Cook on low until thickened. Divide and stir in dark and milk chocolate separately until smooth.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. Assemble the Trifle: Layer dark chocolate pudding over the cookie layer, followed by whipped cream. Alternate layers with milk chocolate pudding and more whipped cream. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
  5. Chill the Trifle: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Prepare chocolate ganache with cream and dark chocolate. Drizzle over the top and add optional toppings before serving.
