Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate cake, crumbled (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chocolate shavings or grated chocolate
- Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- In small dessert cups or glasses, layer the crumbled chocolate cake at the bottom.
- Add a layer of cherry pie filling on top of the cake crumbles.
- Spoon a layer of the whipped cream over the cherry filling.
- Repeat the layers (cake, cherries, whipped cream) until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings and a fresh cherry if desired.
- Chill the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use a low-fat whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
- Substitute the cherry pie filling with fresh berries for a different flavor profile.
