Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or more for garnish)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam (optional, for extra raspberry flavor)
- White chocolate shavings or curls for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Prepare the white cake mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and let cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake into small cubes (about 1-inch size).
- Make the White Chocolate Mousse:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Let the melted white chocolate cool to room temperature.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the cooled melted white chocolate until well combined.
- Assemble the Trifle:
- In a trifle dish or large bowl, layer half of the cake cubes. Drizzle with raspberry jam (optional).
- Add half of the white chocolate mousse on top of the cake cubes. Follow with a layer of fresh raspberries.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cake cubes, mousse, and raspberries.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, garnish with white chocolate shavings or curls and additional fresh raspberries.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen raspberries if fresh raspberries are unavailable. Just make sure to thaw and drain them first.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle the trifle with extra raspberry jam before serving.
- The trifle can be made a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld together.
