Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) red velvet cake mix
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Ingredients as per cake mix instructions (typically eggs, oil, and water)
- Red velvet cake crumbs
- White chocolate shavings
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Cake Preparation: Craft the red velvet cake according to preferred method, utilizing a 9×13-inch pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before transforming into precise one-inch cubes.
- Cheesecake Mixture: Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until silky smooth. In a separate vessel, create a voluminous whipped cream by blending heavy cream and granulated sugar until stiff peaks emerge. Delicately fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, creating a luxurious, airy filling.
- Trifle Construction: In a transparent trifle dish or elegant individual serving glasses, construct alternating layers. Begin with red velvet cake cubes as the foundation, generously cover with cheesecake filling, and crown with a cloud-like whipped topping. Repeat layering technique until all components are utilized, ensuring the final summit is a pristine whipped topping layer.
- Finishing Touch: Embellish the trifle’s surface with an elegant sprinkle of white chocolate shavings, crumbled red velvet cake fragments, or vibrant fresh berries. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour, allowing layers to harmonize and set before presenting this decadent dessert.
Notes
- Allow red velvet cake to cool completely to prevent filling from melting and maintain distinct layer textures.
- Ensure cream cheese is perfectly softened at room temperature for smooth, lump-free filling.
- Whip cream to stiff peaks without overbeating to maintain stable, airy texture in the cheesecake layer.
- Build layers gently and evenly, pressing softly to create clean, defined visual presentation without compressing ingredients.
