White Chocolate Raspberry Trifle

A White Chocolate Raspberry Trifle made from layers of cake, white chocolate mousse, whipped cream, raspberry jam and fresh raspberries. A beautiful and surprisingly easy dessert. Love this flavor combo? Try our White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies, too! 

If there was ever a time to fall face first into a dessert this is it. And, and, AND not only is this a delicious dessert but it is also super simple. We’re taking a mixture of store bought and homemade ingredients and we’re making the prettiest white and red trifle. No one has to know how easy this is. I won’t tell if you won’t.

Trifles are one of my favorite desserts for entertaining. Not only does it make a large quantity, but they are always delicious (foolproof even), and everyone goes crazy when they see all those beautiful layers.

I’m currently sipping a peppermint mocha, our Christmas tree is glowing, Christmas music is playing, and I am staring at photos of cake layered with white chocolate mousse, whipped cream and raspberries. Life is good.

Trifles are my favorite dessert to serve when entertaining. They can feed a crowd, they are easy to serve, and there are so many fabulous flavor combinations. Trifles are also really forgiving. If you over bake a cake or purchase a less than stellar store bought cake it can easily be fixed by layering it with mousse, jam, and whipped cream.

Raspberry Trifle

A handful of ingredients is all you need to whip up this trifle. The only cooking involved is the white chocolate mousse. Don’t let the name “mousse” fool you, it couldn’t be simpler.

  • Pound cake or angel food cake (I use store bought)
  • Easy white chocolate mousse (only 2 ingredients!)
  • Raspberry jam
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh raspberries

Simply layer the ingredients above and you have made a trifle! You can layer them in any order that you choose. There is no wrong way to do this! Layers of cake, jam, mousse and whipped cream can’t possibly be bad.

I’m lucky enough to have access to fresh raspberries year round (one of the perks of living in the Southwest), but if you don’t have fresh berries you can skip the raspberries or use thawed frozen raspberries. Frozen raspberries will be a little less firm, but tasty nonetheless.
