Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In a saucepan, whisk together Whole Milk (2 cups), Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup), Corn Starch (3 Tbsp), Instant Coffee (1 Tbsp), and yolks (4). Heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
step 2
Remove from heat, stir in Irish Whiskey (2 Tbsp) and let it cool to room temperature.
step 3
Next prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip Heavy Cream (1 1/2 cups), Powdered Confectioners Sugar (3 Tbsp), and Bourbon Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
step 4
To assemble the trifle, cut the sponge cake or Ladyfingers (18) into pieces and layer them in the bottom of a trifle dish or individual glasses. Drizzle with Coffee (1/2 cup) and Bailey's® Irish Cream (2 Tbsp). Then add a layer of coffee custard on top of the ladyfingers. Followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the dish is full, ending with whipped cream on top.
step 5
Sprinkle the top with Dark Chocolate Shavings (to taste) or crushed Hazelnuts (to taste).
step 6
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
