Description

A decadent layered dessert combining rich red velvet cake, creamy cheesecake filling, and whipped topping, perfect for holidays or special occasions.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
  • Optional: red velvet cake crumbs or sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bake the red velvet cake according to package directions. Let it cool completely, then cut into cubes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  5. In a trifle dish or glass bowl, layer red velvet cake cubes, followed by a layer of the cheesecake mixture. Repeat layers until the dish is full.
  6. Top with a final layer of whipped topping and garnish with cake crumbs or sprinkles if desired.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before layering to prevent melting the filling.
  • You can prepare the components a day in advance and assemble before serving.
  • Use a piping bag for a neater presentation of the cheesecake filling.
