How to Make Shannon's Chocolate Orange Cranberry Trifle
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your chocolate cake according to your favorite recipe (or use a box mix).
- While the cake bakes, prepare the orange curd: Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the orange juice and zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Prepare the cranberry sauce: Combine cranberries, orange zest, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.
- Layer the crumbled cake with the orange curd, cranberry sauce, and whipped cream.
- Repeat the layers until the bowl is full, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
- Grate Terry's Chocolate Orange over the top for a final touch of chocolate orange flavor.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
