Chocolate and Peppermint Goodness!
We are obsessed with this Christmas trifle because we LOVE beautiful layered desserts! Today’s Christmas trifle is not only delicious, but it’s also fun to make and looks beautiful! With the layers of chocolate cake pieces, Oreos, and peppermint cheesecake filling, it’s hard not to love it! This trifle requires a few simple steps, but the result is a show-stopper perfect during the holidays (especially Christmas). For a similar twist try our Peppermint Brownie Trifle.
