food, reviews and of course coffee
Nothing quite like a trifle.
That combination of sponge, fruit, jelly custard and cream that brings back the memories of childhood flooding back.
Oh and don’t forget that sprinkling of hundreds and thousands to top it off.
At Christmas you would add sherry for a little bit of a luxury and use flaked almonds for the topping.
Generally I don’t like shop made trifles, as in the main there is an articial taste to them, particularly chocolate trifles. The cream always has a tang to it that I really don’t like.
Generally I don’t have the time and patience to make my own (and also I am the only person in the house who likes trifle, so making a big one is not on the cards either).
Recently I bought a three pack of Gü Chocolate Trifles enjoyed them then, so I have bought them again!
Enjoyed them again.

Now and again I buy individual trifles, notably Tesco Finest and Morrisons The Best individual sherry trifles which are not that bad for shop bought trifles.
Recently I have bough a three pack of Gü Chocolate Trifles.
Their website says about their trifles and why you should buy them…
1. The intensity of the 53% cocoa chocolate ganache.
2. The softness of the chocolate sponge.
3. The decadence of the lightly whipped cream.
4. The silky-smoothness of the chocolatey mousse.
I did enjoy them and you can tell that as I bought them again. They are by no way perfect, but when you want a quick chocolatey snack and want to avoid the artificial twang that you find with many chocolate desserts from the fridge, then chocolate trifles from Gü are just the job.
