Now that it’s summer, I look forward to having special treats out on our back deck. There’s just something about wrapping up the day with something yummy. And a dollup of COOL WHIP whipped topping makes just about every dessert a little bit better. We put COOL WHIP on a lot of things: ice cream, brownies, cake, pie, you name it. In fact, my husband will tell you it’s best frozen right off the spoon! Now that makes a great everyday treat.
One of my favorite desserts that includes COOL WHIP is this cappuccino trifle. My mom brought it to a summer cook out a few years ago and it’s amazing. I made a smaller version of this for me and then a coffee-free version for the kids.
The awesome thing with pudding and COOL WHIP is that you can add it to just about anything – fruit, angel food – and make yourself a special dessert.
Bug absolutely loved “helping” with the COOL WHIP.
Cappuccino Mousse Trifle
1 frozen prepared poundcake (16 ozs) Sara Lee is the best
2 1/2 cups cold milk
1/3 cup instant coffee granules
2 pkgs (3/4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding and pie filling (I used Royal French Vanilla)
2 containers frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 square semi sweet chocolate for baking (or use a candy bar)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1. Cut pound cake into 1 inch cubes
2. Whisk milk and coffee, let stand five minutes to blend
3. Set aside 1 cup of milk/coffee mixture. Add pudding mix to remaining milk mixture; whisk until it begins to thicken. Gently fold in one container of whipped topping.
4. To assemble trifle, place one third of the cake cubes in bottom of chilled bowl. Pour one third of reserved milk mixture evenly over cake cubes. Top with one third of pudding mixture, pressing lightly; grate 1/4 of chocolate over top. Repeat layers two more times.
5. Spread remaining whipped topping over entire top of trifle, creating a smooth surface. Fill frosting tube/decorator with remaining one cup of whipped topping. Pipe rosettes around edge of dessert. Grate remaining chocolate in center; sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
It is absolutely delicious and perfect for summer!
