This dessert was made for a family get together where I wasn't sure if everyone would be OK with coffee liqueur. I normally make this with Baileys Irish cream to give it a Tiramisu like flavor. This has the following ingredients for about 10 people
1/2 kg sponge cake cut into squares - this can be store bought or made at home.
2 tbsp Cocoa powder
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup Orange crush - I used mapro orange crush
400 ml fresh cream
Orange segments and chocolate shavings to garnish
Mix the cocoa powder in water. Dip the sponge cake in the cocoa 'decoction' and arrange on the serving dish. Beat together the cream and orange crush. Taste this - is you like it sweeter you can add powdered sugar and mix to get the desired sweetness. Evenly spread the orange cream over the cake. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes till the cream is partly set. Decorate with chocolate shavings and orange segments and chill till serving time. Can be made a day in advance - will stay as long as you don't permit tasting :)
For tiramisu trifle, I use coffee decoction instead of cocoa and Baileys Irish cream instead of orange crush. In this case you need some sugar to sweeten.
