Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg jello instant chocolate pudding 3.4 oz. pkg
2 c cold milk
1 8 oz. carton cool whip (thawed)
1 12 slice pkg almond toast (stella d'oro)
1/2 c amaretto liqueur
1/4 c sliced almonds
cocoa powder

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare Jello Instant pudding according to directions using the 2 cups of milk. Set aside. In a clear glass bowl, cover bottom with a layer of Cool Whip. Pour amaretto into a shallow dish and dip both sides of almond toast into amaretto. Place almond toast pieces into Cool Whip, pushing down. Spoon on a layer of chocolate pudding over almond toast. Repeat layers until all toast is used. Top layer should be Cool Whip. Sprinkle Cool Whip with cocoa powder and then sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
  • 2. Note: The number of slices of toast in each layer will depend on the size of the bowl you use. Also, you may make this a truly low-cal recipe by using Jello Sugar Free Pudding, skim milk, and fat free Cool Whip! For non-alcoholic preparation, you may use strong coffee with almond extract added.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the trifle will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Toast the almonds. Toasting the almonds will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Make the trifle ahead of time. This dessert is best when it has had time to sit and chill. You can make it up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Serve the trifle chilled. Serve the trifle chilled so that the chocolate is firm and the whipped cream is light and fluffy.
  • Garnish the trifle with additional whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or chopped almonds. This will make the trifle look more festive and inviting.

Conclusion:

This chocolate almond trifle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate almond trifle a try. You won't be disappointed.
