Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake

1 baked 9×13 pan pink cake (soft and colorful base)

For the Pudding Layer

1 box instant cheesecake-flavored pudding mix
2 cups skim milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)

For the Whipped Topping

16 ounces Cool Whip (for folding into pudding)
8 ounces Cool Whip (for topping)

For the Fun Elements

1 12-pack Peeps (colorful treats)
1 cup Mini Cadbury Eggs (for crunch and festive touch)

Instructions

Cut the Cake: Begin by slicing your baked and fully cooled pink cake into bite-sized pieces. Layer one-third of the cake pieces evenly in the bottom of a trifle dish to create the base layer.
Whisk the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant cheesecake-flavored pudding mix and the skim milk until the mixture is smooth and has thickened slightly, resulting in a luscious, creamy texture.
Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold 16 ounces of Cool Whip into the pudding mixture using a light hand to maintain a fluffy texture. This creates the creamy fluffy layer essential to the trifle.
Layer the Mixture: Pour about one-third of the pudding and Cool Whip mixture over the cake layer. Repeat by layering another third of the cake, then Peeps, followed by another third of the pudding mixture. Continue layering until all cake, pudding, and Peeps are used, maintaining even layers for visual appeal.
Finish with Toppings: Top the assembled trifle with the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip. Decorate the top by artfully placing remaining Peeps and mini Cadbury Eggs for a colorful, festive look. Optionally, garnish with colorful sprinkles for extra flair.

Notes

Chill the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
Ensure the cake is fully cooled before cutting to avoid mushy pieces.
Gently fold Cool Whip into the pudding to retain fluffy texture.
Customize pudding flavors or candy toppings to suit your preferences or dietary needs.
For best presentation after freezing, reapply Peeps and Cadbury Eggs toppings once thawed.
