Chocolate Trifle FAQs
What is Chocolate Trifle made of?
Chocolate Trifle is a layered dessert made up of cake cubes, pudding, whipped cream, and optional toppings such as crushed cookies or candy bars.
Should a trifle be made the night before?
Once the trifle is fully assembled, I recommend serving it right away because of the whipped cream. It will last a few days but the cream may start to deflate slightly as time passes.
I do suggest you make the cake a day in advance! This way so the cake can cool completely before assembling.
How to store:
A finished trifle will last covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend adding the whipped cream just before serving to preserve its texture. If you use cool whip, it will last a little bit longer.
