  • Total Time: 1 hour (including chilling)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package chocolate cake (baked and crumbled)
  • 1 package cream cheese (softened, 8 oz)

  • 1 container whipped topping (Cool Whip, thawed, 8 oz)
  • 2 cups chocolate pudding
  • 1 cup chocolate sauce or ganache
  • Chocolate truffles or chocolate balls (for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold in half of the whipped topping to create a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.

2️⃣ Layer the Trifle:

  • Base Layer: Begin by spreading a layer of crumbled chocolate cake at the bottom of a trifle dish or a large glass bowl.
  • Cheesecake Layer: Spoon a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate cake crumbs.
  • Pudding Layer: Add a layer of chocolate pudding, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle a layer of chocolate sauce or ganache over the pudding.

3️⃣ Repeat the Layers:

  • Continue layering in the same order (cake crumbs, cream cheese mixture, pudding, and chocolate drizzle) until the trifle dish is full.
  • End with a final layer of the remaining whipped topping on top for a light and creamy finish.

4️⃣ Garnish and Chill:

  • Decorate the top with chocolate truffles or chocolate balls, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
  • Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the layers and enhance the flavors.

5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:

  • Scoop into serving bowls or glasses to reveal the beautiful layers. Indulge in every rich, creamy, and chocolatey bite!
