5 from 1 vote
A beautiful dessert layered with whipped cream, raspberry sauce, chocolate pastry cream, fresh raspberries, and crunchy vanilla cookies! This not only looks impressive, but it is the perfect combination of textures and flavors.
Servings 2 medium glasses (or 4 smaller glasses, or 1 large trifle)
Prep Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours

Ingredients

  • 1/2 portion chokolade kagecreme (chocolate pastry cream) *we usually just make the whole portion of this recipe, but you will only need about half with the ratios we have provided - feel free to add more pastry cream to your taste!
  • 28-30 fresh raspberries
  • 8-10 vanilla cookies *you can either make these homemade, or use a cookie such as vanilla wafers, or digestive biscuits, or even butter cookies!
  • 118 (1/2 cup) milliliters heavy whipping cream *for sweeter cream, add an additional 2 tsp sugar and a splash of vanilla extract when whipping.
  • Chocolate shavings for decor

Raspberry Sauce (can be replaced with raspberry jam with a little bit of water added to make it runnier)

  • 170 (~1.5 cups; 6 oz; 1 clamshell) grams fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • 50 (1/4 cup) grams sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare chocolate pastry cream up to one day ahead of time; it will need at least an hour in the fridge to cool down. You can also make storebought chocolate pudding here to make it even easier!
  • Prepare vanilla cookies with enough time to let them cool down (about 1 hour before assembly!) Skip this step if using storebought cookies.
  • Prepare raspberry sauce by combining fresh or frozen raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium to low heat until the raspberries break apart, about 5-10 minutes; it doesn't need to be very thick! Let cool for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks (you can add 2 tsp sugar and a splash of vanilla extract for additional flavor!)
  • To begin assembly, you will need two medium sized glasses (we used tulip beer glasses for this, which do hold a pint of liquid; you can also use 4 smaller glasses or one large serving dish, but the amounts listed below are for 2 medium sized glasses! Feel free to adjust accordingly!)
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate pastry cream.
