"If you're looking for a dessert that's equal parts comfort food and showstopping, Reese Witherspoon's mud pie trifle is exactly that. In her cookbook Whiskey in a Teacup, she describes it as a "high-low hack" - a semi-homemade twist on the classic Mississippi mud pie that layers Oreos, chocolate pudding, chocolate cake, and Cool Whip layered up in a glamorous trifle dish. Think of it as a potluck favorite dressed up for a dinner party."
"You'll also need to defrost an 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip and prepare a 5.9-ounce box of instant dark chocolate or fudge pudding according to the box instructions. In a trifle dish (deep-sided bowl) - or 10 to 12 individual parfait dishes or stemless wine glasses - layer the ingredients about 1 inch high in this order: coarsely crumbled chocolate cake, pudding, Oreo crumbs, and Cool Whip."
Mud pie trifle layers coarsely crumbled chocolate cake, instant dark chocolate or fudge pudding, Oreo crumbs, and Cool Whip in a deep trifle dish or individual glasses. The dessert requires a prepared chocolate cake, a defrosted 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip, and a 5.9-ounce box of instant pudding prepared per package instructions. Assemble ingredients in one-inch-high layers, repeating to the top and finishing with a final cloud of Cool Whip plus a sprinkling of cake or Oreo crumbs. The result is a creamy, crunchy, chocolate-forward treat that looks elevated but is easy to assemble.
