Looking for a Delicious Death by Chocolate Trifle Recipe?

[Aun]

Lots of layers...

This was sooooooo good! The only problem I had was that I couldn't fit the whole thing into the bowl! Maybe I should have mashed the first layer of cake down before adding the pudding and cool whip.

Julie, glad you liked the chocolate trifle recipe! So far, I've never had a recipe from the KraftFoods.com site not turn out to be good (knock on wood). I just made a "Winter Black Bean Salsa" from there the other night and it was also fantastic!

Anyway, my sister-in-law also makes a trifle with angelfood cake, vanilla or cheesecake pudding, blueberry pie filling, and cool whip (layer as directed in the other recipes) and it's really, really good also! It tastes a lot like a cheesecake when she gets done, but is easier to make.....

Somebody also mentioned doing a layered salad in the trifle bowl, there's lots of recipes for that, too. I did a search for "layered" and here are the results: http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=recipe&m=recipe/knet_recipe_grid&u1=keyword&u2=layered . Not all the recipes will work with a trifle dish, but if you mouse over the names, you can see pictures and it's easy to tell what will or won't work.

I wonder how it would be with both chocolate cake and brownies? Now that would be decadent!!!

I used just brownies in mine (cake-like), but after letting it sit overnight, you couldn't tell it was brownies! Everyone was so surprised, it soaked up the pudding and made it just ooey gooey...everyone thought that it was cake!

Trifle Recipes

I made a good trifle tonight with brownies, vanilla pudding mixed with whipped topping, and strawberries. YUM-O!

I am putting together as many of the recipes posted for trifles and if you could spell out your recipe I will include it in the booklet I am making. Of course I am going to share this with everyone when I am done. Thanks!

Can you put this in recipe form for me? I am putting together a recipe booklet for our trifle bowl and would love to include this and any others anyone may have. I hope to get it done by the end of the week and post on CS.

Thanks.

Here is the one I have been making...

Mississippi Mud Trifle

Ingredients: Package of regular oreo cookies, large container of cool whip, mini marshmellows, large box instant chocolate pudding, & large box instant vanilla pudding

These are in order of the layers:
Chop up 2 cups oreo cookies w/ chopper and put in
add 1/2 of the chocolate pudding you made
about 1/2 of the cool whip (I use a little less than 1/2)
2 cups mini marshmellows
1/2 of the vanilla pudding
2 cups choped oreos
the rest of the chocolate pudding
thre rest of the vanilla pudding
about 1/2 of the cool whip that's left (I don't use the whole large container, but more than a regualar container)
sprinkle top w/ choped oreo cookies

Very yummy, have made it 2 times and it doesn't last very long!
If this is confusing just ask & I'll try to explain, I always tweek recipes so they are different than the original

That sounds good! I think the white chocolate would be great with the raspberries. Make it and let us know how it turns out!

No-bake trifleI got this off of another loop I'm on, and loved the concept because it involves no prep or baking. I plan on making this for my last few February shows as an "extra".

Enjoy!

Alison:

I would go with the white chocolate pudding on this one!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Thanks for the advice... white chocolate pudding it it! I have a guest tomorrow who doesn't eat milk or dark chocolate and I really wanted to do a trifle, so I just sort of made this one up, as I wasn't a huge fan of any of the other recipes out there (however there are a million yummy sounding ones whith chocolate in them!). I'll let y'all know on Friday how it turned out! Thanks!

 

[pamperedharriet]

I'll be waiting to hear Alison! Good luck tomorrow night at your show!

 

[rebeccastt]

Harriet,
Thanks for all your work on the trifle booklet....I can't wait to see it! Yummy!!!

Chocolate Cookie Trifle...Milk

Thanks, Nikke! Do you happen to know how much milk is needed?

Because all you are doing is dipping the cookies in (ala Lady Fingers in espresso for a Tiramisu), not much. I would just put some in bowl and dip away...and personally, I would use regular milk, not skim, because I can't stand skim milk.

HTH!

 

[pamperedharriet]

Thanks, Nicole!

Enjoy!

I can't wait to try this! So simple...yet I am sure it tastes like you spent a lot of time on it. Even if I demo something different, I will be sure to tell guests how to make this so they will want the trifle bowl!
