Not Christmas Pudding

Trifle.
Make in advance. Chopped up chocolate mini rolls in the base. A couple of good plugs of booze of choice, tinned mandarins, a layer of custard, either homemade or out of a tin or pack, whipped cream on top. Decorate with something chocolatey.

I often make a 🎄dried fruit compote, a Delia recipe, prob. available somewhere online. Sundry dried fruits inc. apricots, figs, prunes and raisins IIRC, all simmered in fresh orange juice, maybe some spices added, but can’t remember.

Tastes very Christmassy! And always popular. Can be made quickly well in advance.
Very nice for breakfast, too.

Buy one.

A traybake of chocolate brownies……….soft, gooey and so blooming tasty! Serve with cream, ice cream, custard or ALL three!
