How to Make Raspberry Chocolate Trifle

  1. Bake chocolate cake according to package directions or your favorite recipe. Let it cool completely and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Prepare the raspberry sauce: Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, mashing raspberries with a fork until thickened. Strain if desired for a smoother sauce.
  3. Prepare the chocolate raspberry mousse: Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, melt chocolate chips and let it cool slightly. Gently fold in raspberry puree, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Assemble the trifle: In a large trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the following: chocolate cake cubes, raspberry preserves, chocolate raspberry mousse, and raspberry sauce. Repeat layers as desired.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
  6. Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings before serving (optional).
