Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (or 9-inch homemade cake) chocolate cake
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup chocolate sauce
- 0.25 cup (optional) dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
Bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Let it cool completely and then cut it into small cubes.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to create the cheesecake filling.
To assemble, layer one-third of the chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses.
Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over the cake cubes, followed by a layer of fresh raspberries.
Drizzle a small amount of chocolate sauce over the raspberries.
Repeat the layers (cake, cheesecake mixture, raspberries, chocolate sauce) until all ingredients are used up, reserving a few raspberries for garnish.
For the final layer, top with a dollop of cheesecake filling, a few fresh raspberries, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and optional chocolate shavings.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
