Red Velvet Oreo Trifle

This Red Velvet Oreo Trifle is perfect for Christmas.

One year I brought it to dinner at my sister’s home.and everyone raved about how yummy it looked.

It has been a keeper and requested every year since.

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 for the latecomers to the dessert table.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 1 box Red Velvet cake mix,or white see directions for this choice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 Box Jello cheesecake filling mix, 3.5 ounces
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 6 oz container of Cool Whip
  • 1 package Oreos with seasonal red filling
  • 1 Package Oreos with seasonal green filling

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • 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. I used a meat 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.

For those dieting, use low fat cool whip. Tell everyone I removed all the calories.

This trifle makes a big WOW statement on your table. Even use it as a centerpiece after the main meal is served and you are ready for dessert.

Red Velvet Oreo Trifle can be whipped up in as much time as you can whip up a pudding mix.

Just bake yourself a red velvet cake mix, cheesecake pudding mix you find in the jello/pudding section of the store, prepared whip cream and some cookies.

You can use all premade ingredients for less hassle.

If you can’t find a red velvet cake mix use a white one and add red food coloring a drop at a time.

Remember to stir between drops so you don’t over compensate for the color.

If you can’t find the red and green color Oreos use whatever holiday flavors from the shelf at your local store.

No one will believe how easily this trifle is to put together.

Even your kiddos can help prepare the trifle.

Mixing up the cake, the cheesecake pudding filling and breaking up the cookies all use basic skills.

Remember to watch younger kids around the stove and other equipment.

This Red Velvet Oreo Trifle travels well.

You can take it as your contribution to a family gathering or dinner party. Even an office party will be brightened up when you bring this holiday creation.

Set it on the dessert table with some bowls and spoons.

Just remember to keep checking to make sure you haven’t run out of plates..

Go ahead and keep that a secret. It is time you become the Queen of desserts in your own kitchen!

    I know that this would be a big hit. I’m probably about the only person I know that doesn’t love Oreos. Too chocolatey for me. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe with SYC.
    hugs,

    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.
