Join me as I bake through the Great British Bake Off.
A trifle terrine is a layered dessert made in a loaf pan and served in slices. Inspired by another layered dessert, this Spumoni Trifle Terrine highlights four classic Italian flavors: Amarena cherry, amaretto panna cotta, chocolate mousse, and pistachio bavarois. Beneath those creamy layers is an amaretti cookie crumble.
With chocolate ladyfingers enfolding a mango Bavarian cream, topped with a layer of passionfruit jelly, this Charlotte Russe would have been my entry for the showstopper challenge in Victorian Week on the 2015 season of The Great British Bake Off.
Charlottes are related to trifles in that they are unbaked and made in a glass dish or mold. The two most well-known types are charlotte russe and charlotte royale. This technical challenge, set by Mary Berry, has a lot of steps but is not difficult. The end result is a showstopper dessert that is light, fruity and perfect for summer!
