Recipe



*Note about custard: 1 Large and 1 Small package of Jell-O Cook Style Vanilla Pudding mix can be sustituted, but remember to cut the liquid by 3 tablespoons to allow for Raspberry Liqueur, and use 3/4 cup of Light Cream to the total quantitiy of Jell-O box recipe liquid instead of all milk for a richer flavor and creamier consistency.
You'll want a 12-cup serving bowl.

Using a pretty crystal or glass bowl is great to see this pretty and delicious desert!)

Raspberry Sauce:
In food processor or blender, puree raspberries and icing sugar. Strain. Stir in liqueur. ( Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)

Custard:
In large saucepan, heat milk and cream until hot. In bowl, beat eggs with sugar until light, about 3 minutes; whisk in flour until smooth. Pour in hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to pan; cook, whisking constantly, until boiling. Stir in liqueur; simmer, whisking, for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Pour into bowl; place plastic wrap directly on surface and let cool to room temperature. (Custard can be refrigerated for up to 8 hours.)
Chocolate Truffle Sauce:

In top of double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate, cream and liqueur, stirring. Let cool to room temperature.

Assembly:
Cut cake into 3 layers. Drizzle 1/2 cup Raspberry Sauce over bottom and sides of serving bowl. Place 1 cake layer on bottom; drizzle with 2 tbsp of the liqueur. Pour one-third of Custard over cake. Drizzle with one-third remaining Raspberry Sauce. Reserve 3 tbsp Chocolate Truffle Sauce for garnish; drizzle with one-third remaining Chocolate Truffle Sauce. Repeat with two more layers of cake, liqueur, custard and sauces. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 1 day. Whip cream; add remaining liqueur. Spread over top. Warm reserved Chocolate Truffle Sauce slightly; drizzle with fork over whipped cream. (as a note.. I generally use a pink tinted white chocolate instead of the chocolate sauce, but left the recipe for regular chocolate as most people like it that way best).
