No Small Trifle

This was my second attempt at a trifle. The first was good, but I forgot to take pics, so of course I had to make another. :)

I believe trifles can be made of anything that you like. Their very easy and fairly quick. You do have to make a cake first, but with a box, that's pretty simple. Especially if your hubby makes the cake for you. :)

This was a Chocolate Strawberry Trifle.

Make a Milk Chocolate cake (you can use any type of cake, really) and cut it into chunks. Put one layer of cake on the bottom of the dish. Pour on some chocolate syrup. This helps to moisten the cake. And who doesn't like chocolate syrup?

Spoon about half of a prepared box of instant vanilla pudding on top of the cake. If you like white chocolate, try a white chocolate pudding.

Place a layer of fruit on top of the pudding. Mmmm....

Repeat the layers one more time and top with whipped cream. you can also save some of the fruit for garnish on top. And if you're crazy like me, you can dip that fruit in chocolate.

The first attempt was made with mandarin oranges. Also tasty, but the strawberries were just perfect with the chocolate. Try this with your favorite fruits and let me know how it goes!
