I can’t believe that Valentine’s day is in two days! I am so unprepared this year. Luckily, I just found our Valentine’s Day dessert. Doesn’t this Red Velvet Trifle look delicious? I think I found something that everyone in my family will appreciate. Who doesn’t like chocolate pudding and chocolate mousse? Thanks Super Sweet Life!

Here’s what you need to make this:

1 package red velvet cake mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp milk

For the Mousse

2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
10 oz dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

For the Pudding

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup half and half or milk
3 large egg yolks, preferably at room temperature
8 oz semisweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
