Oh. My. Goodness!!!! This was out of this world yummy. By now, you all should have learned, that I am obsessed with chocolate. I love a yummy chocolate dessert, and this trifle made me so happy. My hubby had his 30th birthday over the weekend, and for his birthday dessert, he requested a trifle. Since I rarely repeat recipes, I decided to come up with a new version. This one wasn’t nearly as rich as the others I have made before, therefore, I will honestly admit, I added an extra scoop to my bowl, he-he. You only live once, right? If you love a yummy dessert, you need to try this, and if you try this, you need to invite me…..okay okay, I am only kidding……sorta, LOL!!
Happy Monday!!!

Oh how exciting!!! We will definitely stop by tonight and check it out!! Thanks so much!!
Husband allergic to Cool Whip…can use homemade whipped cream instead??
Yes, homemade works perfectly in its place, you may want to add a touch of sugar since cool whip is quite sweet! Keep refrigerated since there are no preservatives in the homemade version 🙂
Yum!!! Let us know how it turns out!!
My son and I make this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas he gets a seperate bowl just for himself lol I use brownies instead of cake and skor bars instead of kitkats but still yummylicious any way you make it yummm
yes.. 1 cup of Heavy cream and 3 tablespoon confetti sugar
Dont like mousse…..this looks really really yummy if I was to make it as a birthday dessert for everyone and it was going to be eaten at one sitting could you layer it with ice cream???
You could use pudding? I’m hesitant on ice cream, unless you keep it frozen up until you eat it. Ice cream may make the cake a bit mushy, but the flavor would be good. If you keep the trifle frozen, it should work. Otherwise, try subbing pudding 🙂
I use a brownie mix when I make this desert with sugar-free pudding and fat-free cool whip. Helps with the calories but still can have a smaller serving and not feel guilty. It’s wonderful !!!!
everything looks so good, don’t know where to start. However, will certainly try the Chocolate Trifle!!!!!!!
Hehe, let us know how it turns out! Hopefully you will love it as much as we do, 🙂
Looks delicious that’s what’s going to be for dinner tone
