Description

Beautiful layered Red Velvet Trifle Cups made with moist red velvet cake, fluffy cream cheese filling, and whipped cream. These individual desserts are rich, creamy, and perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime you want an elegant yet easy sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 prepared 9 inch red velvet cake, cooled and cut into cubes
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. If baking the cake from scratch, preheat your oven according to your cake recipe and allow the cake to cool completely before assembling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to soft peaks.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Arrange clear glass cups on a flat surface for easy assembly.
  6. Add a layer of red velvet cake cubes to the bottom of each cup.
  7. Spoon or pipe a layer of the cream mixture over the cake.
  8. Repeat the layers once more, finishing with a cream layer on top.
  9. Sprinkle a few red velvet cake crumbs on top for garnish.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before layering to prevent the cream from melting.
  • Chill the mixing bowl before whipping cream for better volume.
  • Do not overwhip the cream or it may become grainy.
  • These cups can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
