Ingredients
1 package pre-made chocolate cake base
1 package chocolate covered pretzels
1 package strawberry gummy candies
1 package gummy bears
1 package chocolate chip cookies
300 grams jelly beans
1 maraschino cherry
Strawberry whipped cream
1 package strawberry gelatin dessert
500 millilitres whipping cream
Directions
To make the strawberry whipped cream, first prepare the gelatin dessert according to package instructions. Chill while you prepare the cream.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks are formed.
When the gelatin begins to set, but it is not completely solid, combine with whipped cream and mix again until well incorporated.
Invert a trifle dish on top of the pre-made cake base
Trace around the rim of the dish with a knife to create cake layers.
With trifle dish right side up, place a layer of cake into the bottom of the dish. Don't worry if it crumbles.
Spoon whipped cream on top of the cake, smoothing in a relatively even layer.
Alternating with chocolate covered pretzels and gummy bears, line the inside of the dish with the candies standing up and facing the edge of the glass.
In the middle, layer cookies, gummy bears, strawberry candies and jelly beans.
Top with more whipped cream and another layer of cake, and continue these steps of layering until the trifle dish is full.
Being sure to have the last layer at the top of the dish cake, spoon left over whipped cream in a mound on top and top with remaining candies, crushed cookie and a cherry.
NOTE: ready-made cake bases are easily found in the bakery aisle of most grocery stores. This recipe can easily be made in under half hour once the whipped cream is made.
