Rescue Roast® Signature Coffee Caramel Trifle

A rich, layered dessert with coffee-soaked cake, creamy caramel filling and smooth whipped cream. The Rescue Roast® Signature Blend cuts through the sweetness and gives every spoonful a warm, full-bodied coffee flavour.

Serves

8–10 people

Ingredients

Coffee-soaked cake layer

✓ 1 plain vanilla loaf cake or Madeira cake
✓ 1 cup strongly brewed Rescue Roast® Signature Blend, cooled
✓ 1 tablespoon brown sugar
✓ 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Caramel cream layer

✓ 250 g smooth cream cheese, at room temperature
✓ 1 tin caramel treat
✓ 250 ml fresh cream, well chilled
✓ Pinch of salt

Chocolate custard layer

✓ 500 ml prepared chocolate custard, cooled
✓ 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
✓ 2 tablespoons strongly brewed Rescue Roast® Signature Blend, cooled

Topping

✓ Whipped cream
✓ Grated dark chocolate
✓ Crushed chocolate biscuits
✓ Chocolate-covered coffee beans, optional
✓ Caramel sauce, optional

Method

  1. Cut the cake into small cubes and arrange half of them in the bottom of a large glass serving bowl.

  2. Mix the cooled Rescue Roast® Signature Blend with the brown sugar and vanilla essence.

  3. Drizzle half of the coffee mixture evenly over the cake cubes. Allow it to soak in without making the cake soggy.

  4. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.

  5. Add the caramel treat and a pinch of salt, then beat until evenly combined.

  6. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled cream until soft peaks form.

  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the caramel mixture.

  8. Mix the cooled chocolate custard with the cocoa powder and two tablespoons of cooled Signature Blend.

  9. Spread half of the caramel cream over the coffee-soaked cake.

  10. Spoon half of the chocolate coffee custard over the caramel layer.

  11. Repeat the layers using the remaining cake, coffee mixture, caramel cream and custard.

  12. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, although overnight will give the best flavour and texture.

  13. Before serving, top with whipped cream, grated chocolate, crushed biscuits and a light drizzle of caramel sauce.

Rescue Roast® Coffee Tip

Brew the Signature Blend slightly stronger than usual, but drizzle it over the cake gradually. The cake should absorb the coffee while still holding its shape.

Layer upon layer of coffee-powered comfort. ☕🍰🐾
