Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix, plus the ingredients on the back
  • 2 (3.3 ounce) boxes Instant Vanilla Pudding, or instant white chocolate pudding
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2-3 drops peppermint flavoring
  • pink food coloring
  • 8 ounces cool whip, divided
  • 1 (13.29-ounce) package Oreos, or Peppermint Oreos
  • 15 Peppermint Andes, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make chocolate cake according to the instructions on the back. Bake in a 9x13 pan.
  2. Let cool completely and cut into 1-1½ inch squares. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the pudding mix and milk in a large bowl. Once combined, add peppermint flavoring, pink food coloring, and all but 1 cup of your cool whip. Mix well. Set aside.
  4. Add Oreos to a gallon bag and crush. I use a rolling pin to break them up.
  5. Begin layering your dessert by adding half your cake squares to the bottom. Then add half of your mint filling along with half of the crushed oreos.
  6. Add the rest of your cake squares, mint filling then Oreos.
  7. Top with the last of your cool whip and chopped Andes.
  8. Cool for at least 1-2 hours before serving. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Prep ahead of time. Bake the cake, make and refrigerate the pudding, crush the Oreos, and chop the Andes up to 2 days in advance. Store them in separate containers until you're ready to assemble the trifle.
  • Leftovers. Cover and store in the fridge for 1-2 days. The sponge cake will absorb the moisture from the pudding, but it will still taste delicious.
