Vampire Trifle
Dairy, Desserts, Holiday
Ingredients
1 baked and cooled Red Velvet Cake
2 batches Blancmange (Pudding), 1 vanilla and 1 chocolate
1 batch Mascarpone Whipped Cream
30 Oreo cookies, crushed
Trifle Dish(es)
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 drops red food gel coloring
Description
Make the process a little easier by using box mixes if you prefer. You can also use a tub of Cool Whip, just keep in mind it won’t be as stable as the mascarpone whipped cream.
Directions
Cut the red velvet cake into 1” squares and set aside.
Make the whipped cream filling and set aside some to top with later.
To make the edible blood, mix together the chocolate syrup, light corn syrup, and red food gel in a small bowl. Depending on the brands you are using, the color may vary, so adjust the amounts if needed.
Drizzle some of the blood around inside the trifle dish. Layer in some cake, vanilla pudding, Oreos, then whipped cream. Layer in more cake, chocolate pudding, Oreos, and whipped cream. Repeat this process until you’ve filled your dish(es) most of the way.
Top with the whipped cream you set aside earlier and drizzle on the remaining blood. If you have some cake or Oreos left, you can sprinkle them on top.
Cover and refrigerate trifle for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
*The original recipe called for brownie pieces to be layered in as well, and 20 crushed Oreos rather than 30.
