Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Layer
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Layer
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Other Layers
- 1 prepared pound cake or vanilla cake, cubed

- Crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to create a fluffy cheesecake filling.
- In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, start layering:
- Cubed cake
- Cheesecake filling
- Chocolate pudding
- Strawberries
- Chocolate chips
- Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with strawberries and chocolate chips on top.
- Chill for at least 2 hours before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Add sliced bananas for extra flavor.
- Use brownie cubes instead of cake for a richer dessert.
- Make individual trifles in cups for parties.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
