Chocolate Raspberry Trifle Recipe

0 Start by making the chocolate pudding. Follow the package directions, substituting the milk with heavy cream, and add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Transfer the pudding to a medium bowl and refrigerate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.⚠️ Important: Use INSTANT pudding mixThis recipe uses instant pudding, not cook-and-serve. Cook-and-serve pudding must be cooked on the stovetop and will not set correctly if used here.Also, make sure your milk or cream is very cold and measure the liquid exactly as written.
1 Cut the chocolate cake in cake cubes and set aside.
2 Over a large bowl with the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, whip in high speed the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside
3 Start layering your dessert in a trifle bowl or trifle dish. I did not follow a layering order in mine, since I wanted raspberries in the middle and as a topping, but feel free to use any order you want, using 2 layers of each of the ingredients separately.In the end you should have 2 layers of the pudding chocolate mixture, 2 layers of chocolate cake, 2 of whipped cream and 2 of fresh raspberries.
4 Use chocolate shavings on top of the trifle to decorate.
