Recipe type: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Serves: 6 to 8

Ingredients

1 pre-made butter pound cake or angel food cake
2 packages vanilla pudding mix, prepared for custard filling
6 Tablespoons light rum

Chocolate Ganache

9 ounces premium quality dark chocolate (at least 65% cocoa)
1 Cup heavy cream
1 Tablespoon dark rum

Instructions

Prepare the custard and allow to cool.
In individual goblets or wide-mouth glasses, evenly portion chunks of cake, alternating them with scoops of custard.
Spoon in 2 to 3 teaspoons of rum per trifle
Top with ganache.

Chocolate Ganache

Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has just come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over the trifles.
