Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Chocolate cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 packs Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups Milk
- 16 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 cup Chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut or crumble the chocolate cake into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the instant chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with milk until thickened. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
In a trifle dish (or a large glass bowl), layer the bottom with one-third of the chocolate cake pieces.
Spread one-third of the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cake layer.
Add one-third of the Cool Whip on top of the pudding layer and spread it out smoothly.
Repeat these layers (cake, pudding, Cool Whip) two more times until the trifle dish is full, ending with the Cool Whip layer on top.
Sprinkle chocolate chips or chocolate shavings over the final Cool Whip layer to garnish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
