Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch round or store-bought cake chocolate cake
- 5 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate shavings or crumbled chocolate
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Break the chocolate cake into small pieces or crumbs, then set aside.
Prepare the instant chocolate pudding by whisking together the pudding mix with 3 cups of cold whole milk in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes, then refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up further.
In a separate bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand or stand mixer, whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large trifle dish or glass serving bowl, begin assembling the trifle by placing an even layer of crumbled chocolate cake at the bottom.
Top the cake layer with an even layer of chocolate pudding, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the pudding, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the whipped cream layer with a handful of chocolate shavings or crumbled chocolate and a few dark chocolate chips for added texture.
Repeat the layering process (cake, pudding, whipped cream, chocolate shavings) until all ingredients have been used, ensuring the top layer is whipped cream.
Garnish the top layer with additional chocolate shavings, dark chocolate chips, and optional fresh berries for a pop of color.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
