Ingredients

• 1 large (baked or store-bought) chocolate cake
• 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 4 cups milk
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate shavings
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup strawberries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix and milk together in a bowl. Follow the package instructions and refrigerate until set (about 5 minutes).

Step 2

While the pudding sets, make the whipped cream. In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut or crumble the chocolate cake into bite-sized pieces. If using a baked cake, ensure it's completely cool before cutting.

Step 4

In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, begin assembling the trifle by adding a layer of chocolate cake pieces to the bottom.

Step 5

Spread a layer of chocolate pudding over the cake pieces, ensuring even coverage.

Step 6

Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the pudding, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle some chocolate shavings and mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream layer.

Step 8

Repeat the layers—cake, pudding, whipped cream, and toppings—until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.

Step 9

Garnish with additional chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or sliced fresh strawberries, if desired.

Step 10

Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
