Ingredients
Instructions
PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE CAKE BASE
Crumble the chocolate cake into small, even pieces using your hands or a fork. Ensure there are no large chunks, these can make the layers uneven. Set aside in a bowl.
Tip: For a cleaner look, use a serrated knife to crumble the cake for finer pieces.
PREPARE THE CHERRY PIE FILLING
Open the cherry pie filling and stir gently with a spoon to ensure an even distribution of cherries and sauce. If using cherry liqueur, mix it into the filling for an extra depth of flavor.
Tip: For a fresh touch, you can fold in a few fresh cherries to enhance texture and flavor.
ASSEMBLE THE TRIFLE LAYERS
Take a clear glass or small trifle dish. Begin with a layer of crumbled chocolate cake at the bottom, spreading it evenly. Follow with a layer of cherry pie filling, ensuring it covers the cake completely. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and spread gently. Repeat these layers until you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing with whipped cream on the topmost layer.
Tip: Use a spoon to press the layers gently to create a compact trifle without over-compressing, which could make it dense.
GARNISH AND FINISH
Sprinkle the chocolate shavings generously over the top layer of whipped cream. Optionally, add a cherry on top for decoration. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to let the layers settle before serving.
Tip: Serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers for a more appealing presentation.
