Chilli Chocolate Trifle

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and the dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring occasionally.

   Tip: Use a double boiler if you don't have a heatproof bowl

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

   Tip: Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before adding

3. 3

   In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent scorching

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture, the sugar mixture, and the milk mixture. Stir until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps

5. 5

   Add the rice flour and stir until just combined. The mixture should still be slightly lumpy.

   Tip: Don't overmix the batter

6. 6

   Stir in the chocolate chips, chilli peppers, and a pinch of salt.

   Tip: The mixture should be smooth and free of lumps

7. 7

   Pour the batter into 6 small ramekins or cups. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Let the trifle cool completely before serving

8. 8

   To assemble the trifle, place a layer of chocolate truffle at the bottom of a large serving dish. Repeat this process 4-5 times, ending with a layer of chocolate truffle on top.

   Tip: You can also add some fresh chilli peppers or chocolate shavings on top for decoration
