Ingredients

• 3.4 oz Vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Yellow cake (pre-baked or store-bought)
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for ganache)
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold whole milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture to create a light custard. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for garnish.

Step 3

Cut the yellow cake into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

Step 5

To assemble, layer the dessert in 4 serving glasses: start with a layer of yellow cake cubes, followed by a layer of the vanilla custard, and then a drizzle of the chocolate ganache. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with a drizzle of ganache on top.

Step 6

Top each glass with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream for garnish.

Step 7

Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
