Description
Indulge in the Scoop of Heaven Trifle, a delightful dessert that combines velvety layers of rich chocolate pudding, fluffy whipped cream, and crunchy cookie crumbles. Each spoonful offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, with the sweetness of chocolate perfectly balanced by the lightness of cream and the satisfying crunch of cookies.
Ingredients
- Chocolate Pudding: 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped Cream: 2 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cookie Crumbles: 1 1/2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- Garnish: Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the milk while whisking to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- In a trifle dish or individual cups, layer the chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and cookie crumbles. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped cream on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.

- This trifle can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
