chocolate desserts

I mean, are you guys peeing your pants about how good this Samoa pudding looks? Because I totally am!! We had so much delicious fun creating the Trifle Peanut Butter Banana Pudding that I knew I needed to make a new Girl Scout cookie pudding this year too. 

Behold, the Samoas Pudding Trifle!!! It’s as epic and delicious as it looks… I promise, you’re going to LOVE this one friends! 

how to make a trifle

Let’s start by making the chocolate pudding. We’re using store-bought instant chocolate pudding mix. Make sure it’s instant pudding and not the stovetop version.

Mix the pudding with the milk until evenly combined. Cover with plastic and pop in the fridge and allow to chill for about 30 minutes. 

We didn’t have a trifle dish on hand, so we just used a wide vase but a glass bowl will also work. Start by layering the chocolate pudding on the bottom and then a layer of cool whip, caramel drizzle, crushed Samoas cookies and a sprinkling of toasted coconut.

Repeat with another layer of chocolate pudding, cool whip, caramel, cookies and toasted coconut. Continue this until all of the ingredients are used and you’ve reached the top of you Samoas pudding.

Finish off with a few more crushed up Samoas cookies and placing a whole cookie in the center. So people know exactly what’s inside.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge until ready to serve. It’s best if you let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow all the layers to set.
