Chocolate Fruit Trifle

#7

On the 7th day of Christmas treats I give you Chocolate Fruit Trifle.  Pretty and yummy at the same time!

Ingredients:

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) devil's food cake mix

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup cold water

1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix

2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

2 tablespoons orange juice

2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

2 cups fresh raspberries

2 kiwifruit, peeled and chopped

Directions:

Prepare cake according to package directions.  Cool completely on a wire rack. Crumble enough cake to measure 8 cups; set aside. (Save remaining cake for another use.) 

In a large bowl, whisk the milk, water and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for two minutes or until soft-set. Fold in the whipped cream. 

To assemble, spread 2-1/2 cups pudding mixture in a 4-qt. glass bowl. Top with half of the crumbled cake; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon orange juice. Arrange half of the berries and kiwi over cake. 

Repeat pudding and cake layers; sprinkle with remaining orange juice. Top with remaining pudding mixture. Spoon remaining fruit around edge of bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Yield: 12-16 servings.

*I used frozen berries (since they aren’t readily available this time of year), it was delicious!  It made it a juicier mixture!  I’ve also had it without the kiwi, still yummy!!!
