Method
step 1
Put the custard and chocolate pieces into a pan. Gently heat, stirring, until the chocolate has completely melted. Cool with cling film laid directly on the surface of the custard.
step 2
Arrange the brownies in the base of a trifle bowl or 6 individual glasses. Drain the cherries, keeping the liquid, and mix with the blueberries. Spoon over the brownies and drizzle with 4-5 tbsp of the reserved juice. Crush the cornflake cakes a little with a rolling pin and scatter these over the top. Pour over the cooled chocolate custard and chill until ready to serve.
step 3
Whip the double cream with the crème fraîche and icing sugar to soft peaks. Pile on top of the trifle and decorate with fresh cherries and grated chocolate, if you like.
