Super easy, semi-homemade, Red Velvet Trifle.
Delicious!
I made it for Christmas.
And, sorry I am not a good food photographer. ; )
Ingredients:
2 Boxes of Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake
1 Box Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix
1 Milk Chocolate Hershey Bar
1 Duncan Hines Cream Cheese Frosting
Milk (dash)
Directions:
-
Prepare Red Velvet Cake and Cheesecake according to written instructions on the box (exclude cheesecake crust).
-
Cut cake into cubes and layer bottom of your trifle.
-
Top bottom layer of cake with one serving of cheesecake.
-
Using a potato pealer, shave chocolate bar on top of cheesecake mixture.
-
Continue layering until you get to the top, leaving the top finished with cake (two layers of cheesecake, three layers of cake).
-
Empty contents of frosting into a separate, small mixing bowl.
-
Add a dash of milk to frosting and mix with hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy.
-
Spread whipped icing to finish top of trifle.
-
Top with chocolate shavings.
Notes:
I kept cheesecake mixture in the mixing bowl (instead of pie plate like recipe suggests) and put it in the fridge until I was ready to layer. Use a 9×13 pan for baking the Red Velvet Cake. Do not get off-brand frosting. I have not found ANY cream cheese icing that is better than Duncan Hines (in fact, they are all terrible). Let sit out for 15 min or so before serving.
Bon Apetit!

You can buy the cheesecake mixture in the dairy section at supermarkets. I have seen it in a tub. I would think this would save waste of ingredients unless you top it with the graham cracker crumbs and shaved chocolate. You could do anything with this. I am definately going to try this.
