Elegant chocolate liqueur trifles served in tall glasses.

Ingredients:

437.50 gm cold water
10.00 gm cocoa powder
40g butter, chopped
107.50 gm caster sugar
10.00 gm cornflour
4.40 gm vanilla extract
40.00 ml sherry, liqueur or brandy (optional)
300ml thickened cream
18cm sponge cake, cut into cubes

Instructions:

In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together 1 cup of water, cocoa powder, butter, and caster sugar. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Mix the remaining water, cornflour, vanilla, and sherry together. Stir this mixture into the chocolate mixture. Increase the heat to medium and cook while stirring until the mixture boils and thickens. Take it off the heat and let it cool entirely.
