Follow These Easy Steps
This easy Chocolate Trifle comes together in a hot minute (okay, maybe a little longer), but seriously quick.
- Bake the chocolate Cake, per the instructions on the box and let cool. Next, cut into small squares.
- Mix together the pudding and allow to chill in the refrigerator.
- Break up the sandwich/Oreo Cookies.
- Allow the Whipped Topping to thaw, I use the large tub.
- Start layering the Chocolate Trifle: Cake, Pudding, Cookies, Whipped Topping. I Repeat until the Trifle dish is filled.
Pro-Tip: I like to use a Trifle Dish when making this dessert. You can use any deep glass dish you’d like, but a Trifle dish makes everything look so pretty. I got mine, years ago, at Walmart for under $10.
VIOlA!
It’s really that simple. I have made this Easy Chocolate Trifle for so many occasions and I am always amazed at how fast this dessert goes, I almost feel bad for the other desserts at the table! (Okay maybe not 🙂 But seriously, isn’t it so pretty?? Almost too pretty to eat!

- 1 box Rich Chocolate Cake
- 1 package Chocolate Sandwich Cookes, such as Double Stuffed Oreos
- 2 large boxes Chocolate Pudding, get the quick set kind
- 1 large tub Whipped Topping, such as Cool Whip
- Large Glass Trifle Dish, or any deep set glass dish
- Prepare cake according to instructions, set aside too cool. Once cool, cut into 1 inch squares
- Prepare pudding according to instructions, allow to set and chill in the refrigerator
- Crush or break apart sandwich cookies, I like mine to be quartered or about that size
- Set whipped topping out to thaw
- Place a ¼ cup pudding on the bottom of the dish and smooth out
- Next add enough cake to cover the bottom of the dish, apprx. ⅓ of cake cubes
- Follow with ⅓ of the pudding, around 1½ cups
- On top fo the pudding you add ⅓ of the broken cookies, I arrange so the cookie edges can be see through the glass
- Top with ⅓ of the whipped topping, about 1½ cups
- Continue this pattern two more times, ending with the whipped topping and a few semi-whole cookies on top
- Can be served immediately, but chilling for several hours is preferred, refrigerating overnight is perfectly fine
- Sit back and prepare for the compliments!
