Decadent Chocolate Trifle for Two

This chocolate trifle for two is loaded with rich chocolate flavor. Layers of chocolate cookie crumbs, chocolate cheesecake mousse, chocolate syrup, chocolate whipped cream, and chocolate curls make for quite the romantic and rich treat.

Valentine’s Day is coming and this super decadent recipe for chocolate trifles for two is perfect! They’re rich, over the top, and a chocolate lovers dream dessert. There are so many layers of chocolate stuffed inside this glass, you won’t know which one you like more!

Let’s chat about the decadent things I was able to stuff in each layer. I may have gotten a little out of hand on the chocolate for some, but this is absolute heaven to me. Chocolate cookie crumbs, chocolate cheesecake mousse, chocolate syrup, chocolate whipped cream, and homemade chocolate curls, I don’t think I could get any more chocolate in this glass if I wanted to.

I’m pretty impressed with my chocolate girls. I made those with a milk chocolate bar and a vegetable peeler. That’s it! I’ve tried it several times before and it never worked out for me. I think I figured out the problem though. I’m pretty sure it was that my vegetable peeler was old and pretty dull. Another mistake I’ve learned from is that I stored my chocolate bars in the fridge prior to trying to make curls. Of course, the chocolate wouldn’t be pliable. Where’s that facepalm emoji?

If you don’t have or like chocolate syrup, you can easily put a ganache in there.

7. Beat the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

Notes

• For a richer mousse, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream.
• If you don’t have a piping bag, spoon the mousse and whipped cream into the glasses; it will still be delicious!
• Leftover trifle can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
