Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups cold milk
  • 16 oz whipped topping (thawed)
  • Mini chocolate eggs (for topping)
  • Sprinkles (optional, for topping)
  • Edible flowers (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat the oven according to the cake mix instructions.
    • Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box.
    • Divide the batter into separate bowls and tint each portion with pastel food coloring.
    • Pour the colored batter into greased pans and bake as instructed.
    • Let the cakes cool completely, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Make the Pudding:
    • In a large bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to set.
  3. Assemble the Trifle:
    • In a trifle bowl or large glass dish, start with a layer of pastel cake cubes.
    • Add a layer of pudding, followed by a layer of whipped topping.
    • Repeat the layers until the bowl is full, ending with whipped topping on top.
  4. Decorate:
    • Scatter mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and edible flowers over the top for a festive finish.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for brighter, more vibrant pastel shades.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting it into cubes to prevent crumbling.
  • For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat whipped topping.
  • Assemble the trifle a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
