Red Velvet Oreo Trifle ~I made this at Christmas and everyone raved about how yummy it looked. When it was time to dish it out my sister scooped very small portions on each plate. That wasn’t enough! Since the dessert was so light relatives came back for seconds and thirds. I was totally surprised there wasn’t even a spoonful left over. For those dieters, use low fat cool whip. Tell everyone I removed all the calories.

Calories: 110kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box Red Velvet cake mix Or your favorite from scratch recipe, two round 8 inch layers
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 3.5 oz Jello cheesecake filling mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 6 oz container of Cool Whip
- 2 packages of Oreos with seasonal red filling you'll need about 1 1/2 packages
Instructions
- Prepare red velvet cake mix according to the directions on the box. (I used two round 8 inch pans.) Let the cake cool completely.
- In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the cheesecake filling according to the directions on the box. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator to thicken.
- Chop Oreos into large pieces, but not crumbs. You won't need all of the second package, probably around half. ( I used a neat tenderizer)
- When the cake layers are cool, cut into 1 inch squares.
- The cheesecake filling should be thick enough at this point. Fold in the Cool Whip.
- In a large clear bowl, create the bottom layer by arranging the pieces of cake from one of the cake layers. Next, spread a half of the cheesecake filling on top of the cake. Sprinkle with half of the chopped Oreos. Repeat with the other cake layer, cheesecake filling, and Oreos.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours, but overnight is best. Store trifle in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

That’s funny. I am the only one in my home that DOES like oreos! I suppose we could trade it up. Have a great week.
Trifle is such a fun dessert. You can do so many things with it. Plus it is virtually impossible to mess up.
He best part of a trifle is you can use anything you want. No mistakes allowed! Happy Holiday.
This sounds so delicious! I do love an easy trifle recipe. Pinned.

oh my looks great AND so festive
Thank you Sue! Happy Holidays.
Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party – and Merry Christmas!
You are welcome Helen. Happy Holidays.
This looks pretty good. I haven’t seen seasonal Oreos but there’s lots of good stuff that doesn’t seem to make its way north enough into Canada. Unfortunately due to my Scottish mother who made trifle a lot and probably drowned it in scotch or something equally nasty I really didn’t like it. Eating soggy cake. I was visiting my aunt in California years ago and we went to a potluck. One of the attendees was a Scottish lady and what did she bring – trifle! No one touched it even though my aunt tried to urge everyone to do so, to not hurt the lady’s feelings. Couldn’t bring myself to eat it. A few years ago I did try a Snicker’s trifle, and liked it, so the verdict is not everyone makes a nasty Scottish trifle! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
All trifles are different. I am glad to finally got to eperience one that wasnt soggy. I have even made a layered taco and salsa version!! I hope you get to try more types. They don’t all use cake! Happy Holidays.
