Best Candy Cane Red Velvet Trifle Recipes

CANDY CANE RED VELVET TRIFLE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• The Cake: Mix the Red Velvet cake according to the package. Pour into a 9x13 pan, unwrap 1/2 of the bag of candy cane Hershey Kisses and drop on top of the unbaked cake. Bake the cake according to the package. Allow to cool completely after done baking. When you cut into the cake you will notice the Kisses have dropped to the botttom of the cake. The Pudding: In a large bowl empty the instant pudding and milk. Whisk for 2 minutes and set aside for pudding to thicken. Beat in cream cheese and vanilla until there are no lumps. Gently fold in 2/3 of the Cool Whip. Candy Canes: Unwrap the candy canes and chop them in a food processor or blender. You will want a semi-fine texture, no big chunks. Assembly: Cut up or crumble the cake. Place 1/3 of the cake on the bottom of a trifle bowl. Top the cake with 1/3 of the pudding mixture. On top of the pudding sprinkle 1/3 of the crushed candy canes. REPEAT THIS PROCESS UNTIL ALL OF THE CAKE, PUDDING AND CANDY CANES ARE USED. Decorate the top of the trifle as you like with left over Kisses and Candy Canes. Tie a bow around the bottom of the trifle dish for added Christmas Cheer!

RED VELVET TRIFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, then spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Combine cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth to even out.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• When the cake is almost cooled, whisk milk and pudding mix together for 2 minutes. Let sit until set, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the cooled cake into 1-inch cubes.
• Place 1/2 of the cake cubes in the bottom of an 8-inch trifle bowl. Layer with 1/2 of the pudding and 1/2 of the cherry pie filling. Repeat layers once more. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours before serving.
• Garnish with whipped cream.
