Ingredients
Scale
For the Chocolate Raspberry Trifle:
- 1 (9×13-inch) pan chocolate cake (baked and cooled)
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 3 tablespoons raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (3.9-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup chocolate shavings or curls for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chocolate cake into 1-inch cubes. In a small bowl, stir together raspberry jam and water until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form; set aside.
- In another bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
- To assemble the trifle, place a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of a large trifle dish or individual cups. Brush or drizzle some of the raspberry jam mixture over the cake.
- Spoon a layer of chocolate pudding over the cake, followed by a layer of whipped cream and a handful of fresh raspberries.
- Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate shavings and additional raspberries. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought cake to save time.
- For extra richness, add a layer of chocolate ganache or use chocolate mousse instead of pudding.
