Decadent Chocolate Strawberry Trifle

"This is a spectacular, decadent dessert. This is very similar to the English Truffle except that it is done with a wonderful chocolate mouse, Chocolate Genoise cake, strawberries, raspberry jam and a splash of brandy. This recipe needs chilling time, so plan on plenty of time to play"
