Categories     dessert

Time 10h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 15.25-ounce box devil's food cake mix
9 ounces chocolate-mint cookies, such as Thin Mint® cookies, coarsely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups prepared vanilla pudding
1 tablespoon small fresh mint leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and the cake mix according to package directions. Stir in 1 cup of the chopped cookies into the batter. Bake the cake according to package directions and let cool completely. Once cool, cut the cake into 1-inch square pieces, set aside.
  • Whip together the cream, corn syrup and vanilla together, in a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
  • Assemble the trifle: Layer half of the cake pieces on bottom of the trifle dish. Evenly spread half of the whipped cream over the cake and to the edge of the trifle dish. Sprinkle all but 2 tablespoons of the chopped cookies over the whipped cream. Dollop all of the vanilla pudding over the cookie layer and spread evenly to the edge of the trifle dish. Evenly top with the remaining cake. Then dollop with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with the reserved cookies and mint.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours up to overnight. Use a long-handled serving spoon to scoop.

Tips:

  • Plan Ahead: This trifle is best when assembled at least 4 hours before serving, or even overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh, ripe berries and a good-quality sponge cake or pound cake will make a big difference in the taste of your trifle.
  • Don't Over-Whip the Cream: Whipped cream should be light and fluffy, not stiff and overbeaten. If you over-whip the cream, it will become grainy and lose its volume.
  • Use a Variety of Berries: For a more colorful and flavorful trifle, use a variety of berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
  • Don't Skimp on the Custard: The custard is what really makes this trifle special. Make sure to use a good-quality custard recipe and let it cool completely before assembling the trifle.

Conclusion:

Tiny Tim Trifle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of sponge cake, custard, whipped cream, and berries, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give Tiny Tim Trifle a try.
