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)

Directions

Step 1

Break the chocolate cake into small pieces or crumbs, then set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Top the cake layer with an even layer of chocolate pudding, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 6

Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the pudding, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the whipped cream layer with a handful of chocolate shavings or crumbled chocolate and a few dark chocolate chips for added texture.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (cake, pudding, whipped cream, chocolate shavings) until all ingredients have been used, ensuring the top layer is whipped cream.

Step 9

Garnish the top layer with additional chocolate shavings, dark chocolate chips, and optional fresh berries for a pop of color.

Step 10

Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
