Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (baked and cooled, or use store-bought brownies)
- 2 cups chocolate pudding (instant or homemade)
- 2 cups whipped cream (or Cool Whip)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- ½ cup chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Cut the baked chocolate cake or brownies into bite-sized cubes.
- Layer 1: Place a layer of cake/brownie pieces at the bottom of a large trifle bowl.
- Add Pudding: Spread a thick layer of chocolate pudding on top.
- Whipped Cream: Spoon or pipe a fluffy layer of whipped cream over the pudding.
- Chocolate Crunch: Sprinkle in chocolate chips, crushed cookies, and mini marshmallows.
- Drizzle: Pour a little chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce over the layers.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering (cake → pudding → whipped cream → toppings → syrup) until the bowl is full.
- Final Touch: Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and an extra drizzle of fudge.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving so flavors meld together.
