Ingredients

• 1 box (or 9x13-inch homemade cake) Chocolate cake
• 1 can (21 ounces) Cherry pie filling
• 1 box (3.9 ounces) Instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2 cups Milk
• 16 ounces Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• 1 bar (about 3.5 ounces) Dark chocolate bar (for shavings)

Directions

Step 1

Bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions (or use a homemade chocolate cake recipe). Allow it to cool completely.

Step 2

Once the cake is cooled, cut it into small cubes (approximately 1-inch pieces).

Step 3

Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking together the instant pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Let it set for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 4

Using a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, begin assembling the trifle. Start by layering half of the chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of the dish.

Step 5

Spoon half of the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake layer.

Step 6

Spread half of the chocolate pudding over the cherry layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 7

Add a generous layer of whipped topping, using about half of the container.

Step 8

Repeat the layers: Add the remaining chocolate cake cubes, cherry pie filling, chocolate pudding, and whipped topping.

Step 9

Using a vegetable peeler or grater, shave dark chocolate over the top layer of whipped topping for a decorative and delicious finish.

Step 10

Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy!
