Cherry Trifle Dessert

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Marsala Wine
• 1/2 cup Slightly cooled strong espresso coffee
• 2 tablespoons Super fine granulated sugar
• 50g Grated good-quality dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup Thick vanilla custard
• 4 pieces Mini jam sponge rolls
• 1 can of 425g Cherries

Directions

1. Mix sugar, coffee, and marsala together in a bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves.
2. Take your shot glasses and put the sponge slices each in per glass (cut to fit). Reserve one tablespoon of coffee mixture in a small cup and drizzle the rest over the slices of sponge.
3. Take chocolate and all the custard and cherries for topping. After that, use the reserved coffee mixture for drizzling.
4. Take the remaining chocolate and sprinkle over the dessert and then serve.

You only need five minutes to prepare this dessert. If you do not find marsala, which is available in liquor stores, you can use any other liquor available at your hand. For example, this dessert can also be made by using brandy, Tia Maria liqueur, dry sherry, and Kahlua liqueur instead of marsala.
