Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 1 box White Cake Mix
  • 1 package Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 3 large Egg Whites
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Food Coloring (green and purple)

Filling

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Toppings

  • 15 Oreos (crushed)
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans with non-stick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, egg whites, milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the ingredients for 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Divide and Color Batter: Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. Add green food coloring to one bowl and purple food coloring to the other. Mix each until the color is uniformly distributed.
  4. Bake the Cakes: Pour the green batter into one prepared cake pan and the purple batter into the other. Bake both pans for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow cakes to cool completely.
  5. Cut Cake into Cubes: Once cooled, cut the cakes into small, bite-sized cubes to make them easy to layer in jars.
  6. Make Cream Filling: Whip the heavy cream in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. Assemble Trifles: In individual jars or serving glasses, layer green cake cubes, crushed Oreos, cream filling, purple cake cubes, and more crushed Oreos. Repeat layers as desired and optionally top with sprinkles for extra festive flair.
  8. Serve or Store: Serve the mini trifles immediately for best freshness or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. These trifles keep well chilled for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • You can customize the food coloring shades to match your Halloween theme.
  • If Oreos are not preferred, substitute with chocolate cookie crumbs or your favorite cookie.
  • Ensure cakes are fully cooled before cutting to avoid crumbly pieces.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • These trifles are best served chilled and fresh within two days.
