Indulge in this classic Black Forest Trifle, a delightful dessert featuring layers of chocolate cake, cherry pie filling, and whipped cream.

  • Total Time: 3 hours

Ingredients

Scale

To make this scrumptious Black Forest Trifle, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups cherry pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

These ingredients are readily available in most grocery stores, making it easy to grab what you need. I love how simple and accessible this recipe is for everyone!

Instructions

  1. Bake the chocolate cake according to package directions and let it cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  3. Crumble the cooled cake and layer it in a trifle dish with cherry pie filling and whipped cream, repeating layers.
  4. Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to prevent mushiness.
  • You can use store-bought whipped cream as a time-saver.
