How to Make Cappuccino Mousse Trifle

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole milk and 2 tablespoons of instant espresso coffee granules until completely dissolved.
  2. Set aside 1 cup of the coffee milk mixture. Add the instant chocolate pudding mix to the remaining coffee milk mixture and beat on low speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, or until thickened and smooth.
  3. Gently fold in half (4 ounces) of the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
  4. In a 4-quart trifle bowl or serving dish, layer one-third of the cubed angel food cake.
  5. Top with one-third of the reserved coffee milk mixture, followed by one-third of the chocolate pudding mixture, and one-fourth of the grated semi-sweet chocolate.
  6. Repeat layers twice more, ending with a layer of cake.
  7. Garnish the top with the remaining whipped topping and the remaining grated chocolate.
  8. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  9. Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill thoroughly before serving.
