• Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar and the vanilla extract until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.

Spread 1/3 of the whipped cream over this. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cookie crumbs. Proceed in this fashion until three layers have been assembled, ending with a dusting of the cookie crumbs.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING TRIFLE

Steps:

• 1. Bake cake as directed on box in a 9x13 pan. Cool completely. Cut into 2 inch squares
• 2. While cake is baking, cook the pudding according to directions. Pour into a large wide bowl, cover with wax paper to prevent a "skin" on top. Let cool.
• 3. Start layering with enough pudding to cover the bottom of a trifle bowl. Cover all of the pudding with enough cake pieces. Next spread a thick layer of whipped topping. I use Lite Cool Whip. Continue layering until all the way to the top. You will have some cake left over. Shortly before serving squirt whipped cream all over the top. I crumbled some cake in the center and decorated with cherries. Serves about 12 people.
