Black Forest Trifle Graveyard Dessert!

 Black Forest Trifle Graveyard Dessert!

Black forest trifle is divine. Fluffy layers of cream, chocolate cake, pudding and cherries...it's the perfect dessert. Dress it up like a graveyard for the best Halloween dessert. This dessert is easy to make and assemble for a party or event.

These black, tall, plastic wine glasses are the perfect containers for the graveyard Victorian feel. These glasses are from Oriental Trading and I received them in exchange for this post.

To make the gravestones you will need Milano cookies and black food coloring. You will also need a new small paint brush.

Write a simple R.I.P. in food coloring on the top of each cookie and let them dry.

Supplies Needed:

Chocolate Cake
Cherry Pie Filling
Chocolate Pudding
Milano Cookies with R.I.P. on them
Whipped Topping
Black Wine Glasses
Round Cookie Cutter (the size of the glass)

Cut a piece of chocolate cake with the circle cookie cutter.

Start by putting the cake inside the glass.

Then one spoonful of chocolate pudding spread over the cake.

Then add a spoonful or 2 of cherries.

Next, cover the cherries with whipped topping.

Then add another piece of chocolate cake.

Cover the top with chocolate pudding.

Then insert a Milano "gravestone" cookie into the top of the glass.

Add a cherry on the top! If you do other flavors of trifle, place a piece of the filling on top to set it apart from the others.

They are elegant and Victorian-esque! Perfect dessert for a Halloween party, murder mystery dinner, or school party! Super yummy!
