# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 package chocolate cake, baked and crumbled
02 - 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
03 - 1 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 container whipped topping, thawed (8 oz)
06 - 2 cups chocolate pudding
07 - 1 cup chocolate sauce or ganache
08 - Chocolate truffles or chocolate balls, for garnish
09 - Chocolate shavings, for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping to create a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
02 - Begin by spreading a layer of crumbled chocolate cake at the bottom of a trifle dish or a large glass bowl. Spoon a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate cake crumbs. Add a layer of chocolate pudding, smoothing it out with a spatula. Drizzle a layer of chocolate sauce or ganache over the pudding.
03 - Continue layering in the same order (cake crumbs, cream cheese mixture, pudding, and chocolate drizzle) until the trifle dish is full. End with a final layer of the remaining whipped topping on top for a light and creamy finish.
04 - Decorate the top with chocolate truffles or chocolate balls, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch. Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the layers and enhance the flavors.
05 - Scoop into serving bowls or glasses to reveal the beautiful layers. Indulge in every rich, creamy, and chocolatey bite.

01 - No-Bake Dessert: Perfect for when you want a hassle-free yet show-stopping treat.
02 - Layered Perfection: The combination of textures—moist chocolate cake, creamy cheesecake filling, and smooth pudding—creates an irresistible dessert.
03 - Customizable: Swap the chocolate cake with brownies or add layers of fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
