Hi everyone, my name is Heather and I am here from Food Lovin' Family. This is my first post on The Melrose Family and I am excited to share some delicious recipes with you this year. Today I want to talk trifles. They are one of my favorite desserts to make because they are easy, tasty and beautiful. Everyone always thinks that they take a lot of time to assemble but they are really simple to make.

What makes this trifle recipe soo good?

This chocolate angel food raspberry trifle is one of my very favorites. The combination of chocolate and raspberry is incredible. Last year I made this trifle for my husband and I on Valentine's Day and it was a HUGE hit! We were licking the bowl clean.

This is the best simple chocolate angel food cake raspberry trifle! The perfect dessert!

Ingredients:

  • Angel food cake mix
  • Cocoa powder
  • Cream cheese softened
  • Sugar
  • Cool Whip thawed
  • Fresh raspberries
  • Raspberry preserves

How to make Chocolate Angel Food Cake Raspberry Trifle?

To make this trifle I begin with chocolate angel food cake. I used a simple angel food cake mix and then added ½ cup of cocoa powder to the mix to make it chocolate. The cream filling is a mixture of sugar, cream cheese and frozen whipped topping.

Start by putting a layer of cubed chocolate angel food cake on the bottom of the bowl then add a layer of cream. Next I spoon on a light layer of raspberry preserves and then fresh raspberries. Keep layering until you reach the top. I was able to get two layers in my individual cups. You can put this trifle in a trifle bowl or if you are like me and don't like to share, use a cup or mason jar for individual portions. To make this dessert extra special and chocolaty, I stuffed the top raspberries with dark chocolate chips.

    Trifle looks delicious. For my husband; out with the raspberries and in with the strawberries or cherry pie filling instead. He is no big fan of raspberries

    Wow...this looks amazing! I'm pretty sure I'd be licking the bowl clean too, if I could get to it before my 4 year old did!
