A perfectly balanced chocolate trifle with all flavors and textures you can want. This is a recipe I've been making for years and it was a best seller in my bakery during festivals so it was a perfect time to share it. A crumbly Oreo layer followed by a smooth cream cheese whipped cream topped with a moist rich chocolate cake topped with a chocolate ganache and then finished with the whipped cream and chocolate chips for crunch. You want to dig in don’t you? This is a recipe loved by all especially chocolate lovers and its so easy to make! You can easily prep this dessert from before hand which makes life easier as well. All the layers compliment each other perfectly and I can’t wait for you to try it! This dessert can be made eggless.

Notes/Tips:

• You can use a devils food cake mix or moist chocolate cake mix if you like.

• Letting the trifle set overnight helps the flavors set in well.

• Be careful while making the cream cheese whipped cream so that you’ll break the cream.

• If you make it in deeper bowl, you can repeat the layers of cake cream and ganache if you like.

• This lasts well in the fridge for 2 days.
