Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups red velvet cake, cubed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup chocolate shavings or fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans and bake red velvet cake according to package instructions. Allow cakes to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and mix well. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold it gently into the cheesecake mixture.
- Cut cooled red velvet cake into cubes. In a trifle dish or individual glasses, layer cubes of cake followed by dollops of cheesecake filling. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped cream on top.
- For added flair, sprinkle chocolate shavings or fresh berries before serving. Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow flavors to meld.
