Ingredients
Scale
- 13 ounces vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare (1 box))
- 6 ounces instant white chocolate pudding mix (2 small boxes)
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 8 ounces heavy cream
- 6 ounces white chocolate (chopped)
- 5 cups frozen raspberries (from a 24 ounce bag)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces fresh raspberries (plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- White chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the inside of a 9-inch x 9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package directions. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove from the pan. Cut the cake in half horizontally, then cut into small cubes.
- While the cake bakes, prepare the raspberry sauce by adding the frozen raspberries, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a small saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
- Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Warm the cream until it reaches 100 degrees F. (Do not bring to a boil.) Put the white chocolate into a medium mixing bowl and pour the hot cream over the top. Let sit for 1-2 minutes and then whisk until smooth. Let cool completely.
- Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to beat the white chocolate cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk in a large mixing bowl for 2 minutes until thickened. Add the whipped cream to the pudding and fold until evenly combined and no longer streaky.
- Arrange half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle bowl. Spread half of the raspberry sauce over the cake, then top that with half of the white chocolate cream. Arrange most of the fresh raspberries over the cream. Layer the remaining cake, white chocolate cream, and finally the remaining raspberry sauce to the bowl.
- Top the trifle with dollops of whipped cream, some fresh raspberries, and white chocolate shavings if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raspberries for garnish.
- This trifle can be prepared a few hours in advance; just keep it refrigerated until serving.
