Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 red velvet cake, cubed
Pudding
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant white chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz whipped topping (half of the 16 oz), divided
Topping
- 8 oz whipped topping (remaining half of the 16 oz)
- Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), quantity as desired for layering and garnish
Instructions
- Make the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant white chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside to firm up slightly.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping to create a light, fluffy mixture.
- Assemble the trifle: In a large trifle bowl, layer cubed red velvet cake, spoon over a layer of white chocolate pudding, add the cream cheese mixture, then scatter mixed berries on top. Repeat layers as desired, finishing with a final layer of whipped topping and garnish with fresh berries.
- Chill and serve: Cover the assembled trifle and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and dessert to set. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- This dessert is best served chilled, so plan ahead for refrigeration time.
- You can use homemade white chocolate pudding if preferred, but instant pudding mix speeds up preparation.
- Adjust the quantity of mixed berries based on preference for sweetness and tartness.
- Use fresh whipped topping or stabilised whipped cream for best texture in the cream cheese mixture.
- Red velvet cake can be homemade or store-bought to save time.
