Ingredients
- Chocolate Pudding: 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped Cream: 2 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sponge Cake: 1 store-bought sponge cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Chocolate Shavings: 1/2 cup dark chocolate, shaved
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking to combine, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- In a trifle dish, layer half of the sponge cake cubes at the bottom.
- Spread half of the chocolate pudding over the cake, followed by half of the whipped cream.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- This trifle can be made a day in advance; just cover it tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
