Red Velvet Trifle

Red Velvet Trifle is made easy by using a cake mix, frozen whipped topping and cream cheese. A festive and delicious treat perfect for the holidays.

Ten days left until Christmas and I still have some serious shopping that needs to happen. Even though it can get crazy sometimes, I love the build up to Christmas. The anticipation of seeing the kids smiles when they wake up gets me every time. 

One year for Christmas when Ava and Major were little, my mom came to stay with us so that we could get a little sleep. That was our Christmas present 🙂 She wanted to make us a meal and decided to make these sweet little red velvet trifles for dessert. The cream layer is part of the recipe for the Robert Redford dessert I posted several months ago. She just used a box cake mix to make it easy and then a little whipped cream for good measure. The cream mixture is so delicious, you could use it with any cake flavor.

To make the trifles, make the cake as directed on the box. Mix together cream cheese, frozen whipped topping and sugar for the cream layer. You can put this in a trifle bowl or serve in individual cups.
