Chocolate Layer Trifle 

Serves 4 - 6 ( 1 ½ times for 8-10 or 2 times for greedy lit lovers!)

You need a medium or large trifle type bowl.

You can add a tablespoon (ish) of alcohol in with the cream if desired ( I used Kahlua)

4 oz fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs without crusts

3 tbsp drinking chocolate powder
4oz demerara sugar
2 tbsp coffee POWDER ( or grind down granules)
½ pint single cream
½ pint double or whipping cream
Chocolate to sprinkle, either grated or a crumbled Flake.

1)   Mix all the dry ingredients together

2)   Whip the creams until thick but not solid

     3)   In the dish, start with a chocolate mix layer and then cover with a layer of the cream
     4)   Repeat twice, finishing with the cream
     5)   Cover and refrigerate overnight

6)   Just before serving, sprinkle with chocolate
