Method

Warm the milk and vanilla in a pan. Whisk the egg yolks and cornflour. Slowly pour the warmed milk into the eggs, whisking, then pour the mixture back into the pan. Heat, stirring, until thickened.
Pour into a bowl and stir in the Nutella until melted and chocolatey. Cover with cling film (rest it on the surface so it doesn't form a skin) then chill until completely cold.
Whip the cream and chop the chocolate into chunks. Layer up the trifle in a serving bowl with the brioche and custard, top with the cream and chocolate and chill until ready to eat.
