INGREDIENT NOTES:
RED VELVET CAKE:
- Utilize this baked cake to make the base layers of the trifle dessert. This cake gives a soft texture and mild cocoa taste in the recipe. You may replace it with chocolate cake as per your preference.
BROWNIE BITES:
- These bites include a rich and fudgy texture in the dessert. Brownie bites are good to use with chocolate pudding for more delicious results. You may utilize chocolate cake cubes as a substitute.
INSTANT CHOCOLATE PUDDING MIX:
- We use this mix to make the smooth and creamy chocolate layer. The pudding includes moisture in the cake and holds the layers. You may include sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix as another idea.
CHOCOLATE SYRUP:
- Utilize this syrup in the edible blood mixture to include a glossy look. It has a mild chocolate taste and makes the dark base of the red Halloween trifle. You may use chocolate dessert sauce as an alternative.
