I once had a trifle that was basically choc. cake then cherry filling then whipped topping (I think)

does anyone know this or have a SIMPLE easy trifle recipe. im having a fruit platter on the side so I dont need to have fruit in the trifle.

thank you, im having a program tom and theres plenty other things to do as well

Trifle is exactly what you described; layers of cake, fruit or filling or jello, and whipped topping and/or pudding.

I usually only do trifle during strawberry season, and then it's almost like strawberry shortcake, but I found a good source for frozen berries...

Cut cake into cubes, put whipped topping on top, sprinkle with fruit and drizzle with fruit jelly, and repeat until you fill up the bowl.

My sister in law always makes a trifle using a super easy cake mix, such as Dunkin Heinz (or however you spell it) for the cake layer. Will make things much easier for you if your in a rush....

Buy a sponge cake. douse it with liqueur/cherry brandy & open a couple of cans of mixed fruit & dump on top. Make jello according to directions (I usually use 2 packets) & let cool for 5 mins. Pour over fruit & cake. Watch it dribble down, it's cool embarrassed

Leave in the fridge. Make a custard (if you can get Bird's custard from UK it's the best) & use whole milk. Leave to cool 2 mins, pour on top of jello, back in fridge. Then finish with whipped cream & cherries/sprinkles/whatever.

If you want it pareve, use a vanilla pudding for the custard.

BTW, I don't drink AT ALL, so when I pour in the booze I just pour. It's very strong...one friend literally got drunk from it. Rolling Laughter

YUM!!

I make an easy trifle. I make one batter of chocolate cake and divide between 3 9" round pans. When baked, I put one on the bottom of a trifle bowl. Then I pour a Rich's whip and an instant chocolate pudding in my machine, beat it until it is "puddingy" and pour half over the cake in bowl. I whip a topping (sometimes put 1/2 pkg instant vanilla pudding) and cover the chocolate layer with that. I sometimes crush some viennese crunch and put it on top of topping layer. Then I repeat the whole thing again.

Trifle - yum! I like Bubby's plus I make the cookies & cream one from KBD - chocolate cake, chocolate cream (choc pudding + milk/non dairy creamer + a whipped rich's whip), rich's whip whipped. Do each layer twice. Then put chopped peanut chews on top.

I make two round chocolate cakes, layer cake, pudding mixes (lemon, chocolate, or vanilla) chopped up nutty chews, chopped up sandwhich cookies, blueberries, strawberies. with trifle, anything goes.

Chopping those peanut chews is a killer. I'm afraid to use my processor, I think they'd break the blade!
