Indulgent chocolate brownie trifle (for people who love dessert but don’t like trifle!)

Individual chocolate trifle recipe with chocolate mousse, chocolate brownies, ice cream, mini meringues and berries for people who don't like traditional trifle

 

It’s my last post for the year and of course it had to be a festive recipe. I’ve been busy in the kitchen baking edible gifts and trying to do as much advance prep as I can for Christmas dinner and if you’re there too I hope it’s going smoothly! We’re ending the year on a sweet note with a recipe that’s inspired by a classic. Let’s face it, trifle is wildly popular at this time of the year but (confession time) I’m really not a fan. I think it’s the soggy combination of boozy finger biscuits, custard and jelly and the piles of cream on top that give me the heebie-jeebies, and it’s just not a dessert that I’ve ever taken to. There are very few dishes that I’ll avoid but when it comes to trifle I’m on a strict “no thanks” diet, ha!

Chocolate and kahlua mousse cups

Chocolate mousse with kahlua.
Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and what better excuse to indulge with something decadent and chocolatey. Not that I need a good reason… holiday or no holiday you do not have to ask me twice when it comes to anything chocolate related! Yes, I have been on somewhat of a chocolate mission recently and as a result this has inadvertently become the theme for the rest of February on the blog. I am sure you don’t mind.

Sugar free chocolate mousse (with video)

 Sugar free chocolate mousse without avos.
My regular readers will know that I love a fully loaded treat, but lately I have been on the look out for recipes that are both delicious but free from things like sugar and gluten. I notice such a difference in my energy levels when I avoid these (no more mid afternoon slumps), not to mention feeling more clear headed. So I was intrigued when my son’s teacher told me about this amazing sugar free chocolate mousse – of course I had to try it!
