Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 3.9-ounce package instant chocolate pudding
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 8- ounce containers Cool Whip thawed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • ⅔ package Oreo cookies roughly chopped
  • 1 pint blueberries blackberries, or a combination of both, washed
  • 1 pint strawberries washed, hulled, and sliced

Instructions

  • To prepare the chocolate layer, whisk together the pudding, cold water, and sweetened condensed milk. Refrigerate. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate pudding mixture until well-combined and then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To prepare the cream cheese layer, use an electric mixer to whip the cream cheese until it's light and fluffy. Add the thawed Cool Whip and whip until light and fluffy and well-combined.
  • Layer the ingredients in trifle dishes. If using individual dishes, it's easiest to do a layer of pudding, cookies, strawberries, Cool Whip/cream cheese, and end with berries. If using one large trifle dish, repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients (or space).

Notes

  • If desired, Cool Whip can be replaced with 16 ounces of heavy cream whipped with 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
  • Yes, this is a recipe for Chocolate Berry Trifle, but this same method works for other flavor combinations. You could switch out the chocolate pudding for vanilla and/or change the berries for a different flavor profile. Banana pudding, Nutter Butters, and bananas would be a yummy combo, especially if you snuck a spoonful of peanut butter into the topping!
