Start by crumbling the low-fat chocolate cake or brownie into small chunks and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy.
Wash and pat dry the fresh raspberries. Set aside a few raspberries for garnishing later.
Take a glass serving bowl or individual dessert glasses. Begin layering by placing a layer of crumbled chocolate cake at the bottom.
Add a layer of chocolate pudding, spreading it evenly over the cake crumbles.
Next, add a layer of the yogurt mixture, followed by a handful of fresh raspberries.
Repeat the layers (cake, pudding, yogurt, raspberries) until the bowl or dessert glasses are filled, ending with a yogurt layer on top.
Garnish with the reserved raspberries, dark chocolate shavings, and optional mint leaves for a fresh, decorative touch.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this light yet rich dessert!
