Easy Chocolate Trifle
Ingredients:
1 box chocolate cake mix (usually requires oil, eggs and/or water)
4 cups whole milk
2 boxes white chocolate instant pudding 3.4 oz
1 box mint grasshopper cookies or Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies
1-2 drops mint extract
Green gel food coloring
1 can whipped cream
Preheat your oven, prepare, and bake your cake as directed on box. This will differ some depending on brand, so you will want to be prepared with oil, eggs and/or water based on those instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk your instant pudding, milk, two or three drops of mint extract (your preference depending on how minty you’d like), and a few drops of green food coloring together.
After incorporating everything thoroughly, set the bowl in the fridge for 5 minutes so the pudding can soft set.
Slice your cake into small pieces and line the bottom of your trifle dish with pieces of cake. Pour half of your green pudding on top of your cake.
Place your mint cookies on top of your pudding along the sides of the dish, and fill them in the middle as well.
Add another layer of chocolate cake on top of your cookies and around the sides of the dish. Pour the rest of your mint pudding on top of the cake, being sure to fill in all the crevices.
Add one last layer of chocolate cake on top of the pudding. Fill the center with whipped cream and then top off your trifle with a few mint cookies. Serve immediately and enjoy!
If you plan to make this a bit ahead of time, wait until the last minute to add your whipped cream and last few cookies. The whipped cream will melt if you spray it too early.
