Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cake
- 1 chocolate cake (store-bought or homemade)
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Cake: Start by baking your chocolate cake according to your favorite recipe or package instructions. Allow it to cool completely before cutting it into cubes for layering.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual cups, start with a layer of chocolate cake cubes. Follow this with a layer of the cheesecake filling and then repeat these layers until you reach the top of your dish. Finish with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top and add any additional garnishes you desire. Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing, and chill your bowl for whipping cream for better volume.
- Use a piping bag to layer the cheesecake filling for a cleaner and more aesthetic look.
- Allowing the trifle to chill for several hours enhances the flavor and texture.
- Use clear glass dishes to showcase the beautiful layers and colors of your Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle.
- Adjust sweetness and chocolate levels according to your preference.
