Orange and Chocolate Trifle

A layered dessert in a glass: orange pastry cream, crisp chocolate cereal and whipped cream, assembled in 15 minutes and with no oven.

The cereal on top goes on only just before serving. The bottom layer softens during the hour in the fridge, and that is how it should be: that is the trifle texture. The crunch has to come from the layer added last, or nothing is left of the contrast that makes the dessert addictive.
