  I made this for pudding on New Years day and it went down very well. I found some cherries in kirsch at Tesco, I think they just stock them for Christmas as I haven't seen them there before. Hubby wasn't keen on the brownie base, so I may try chocolate swiss roll another time.

  This was really easy to make and tasted really great. Everyone that tried it loved and said that it felt like a grown up trifle. Will def be making it again and will be doing the chocolate custard again as was so easy and tasted great.

  Made my own chocolate custard with cornflour and cocoa powder. The cherries were in syrup rather than kirsch but otherwise followed the recipe using mini chocolate brownies from Tesco bakery. The feedback was good (I couldn't eat any myself as I have a dairy allergy so I have to trust the recipe!)

  I made this dessert as the 'easy' one of 3 desserts for a large family gathering. I changed the ingredients/quantities slightly and my version fed 16 people easily. I substituted 4 broken up double chocolate muffins for the brownies (thought brownies would be too 'fudgy'.) I used the same amount of cherries as recommended in the recipe and there was more than enough. I doubled the amount of chocolate custard (divine and good enough to serve as a pudd in it's own right) and used Waitrose's Blegian plain chocolate (just remember to allow time for the custard to cool). I then topped the trifle with 500ml whipping cream, a crumbled flake (1 was enough) and some stoned fresh cherries. Absolutely delish and oh sooo easy :-)

  This is definitely an expensive and rich dessert. I made this for dessert when my partners colleagues came round for dinner and it went down a treat to say the least! I had some trouble locating the cherries in Kirsch but eventually found them in Waitrose for £6.99 a jar, needed two of course. I will definitely make this again. it was delectable!

  I plan to make a version of this for Christmas, but mine's not going to be an expensive version. A while ago I made a chocolate cake that didn't rise as much as it should have (I make celebration cakes for a living - cakes not rising NEVER happens to me!!) so I froze it. I plan to use this cake, a couple of bags of frozen cherries from Sainsburys, I have cherry liquer in the cupboard so I'll soak them beforehand. May spread the cake with jam to add sweetness, as I would when making a regular trifle. Contemplating a layer of choc mousse before the choc custard layer as I think the custard will be a bit heavy (or possible skipping the choc custard altogether). A ltitle cream on top, some grated choc, a couple of cherries and voila!

  Very easy dessert to make! Was delicious but a bit sickly! I would make again for a crowd though as it was very easy and impressive once put together.

  My husband is not a big fan of desserts but described this one as epic! I couldn't get cherries in kirsch or kirsch so used tinned cherries in a light syrup and a lot of cherry brandy to ensure the brownies were moist. Really gorgeous recipe that I will definitely do again.

  This is so simple to make and looked great. I had trouble getting the cherries in Kirsch so I ended up using tinned pie filling and adding a liqueur to some of the juice. The juice is quite thick and I don't think I added enough liqueur so if I make it again ill revise the liquid part of this so the brownies are a bit more moist.
