I made this red velvet trifle with a white chocolate cream cheese mousse for my daughters birthday. It was a real hit...so much so that my son-in-law requested that I make it for his birthday too!

Here's what you are going to need:
Red velvet cake
8 ounces of white chocolate chips
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of sugar
8 ounces of chocolate chips
1 (32-ounce) jar of Maraschino cherries

Here's what you need to do:

red velvet trifle

Bake a red velvet cake in a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish. You can use either a box cake mix or my recipe. Cool completely and cut into small squares.

red velvet trifle

Place the white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler.

red velvet trifle

I don't own a double boiler so I make one. You can use either a glass or metal bowl and place it over a pan of water. The water only needs to be about an inch deep. Don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.

white choclate mousse

Bring the water to a boil. Stir the chocolate chips constantly until melted. Set aside to cool completely.

white chocolate cream cheese

Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the melted and cooled white chocolate. Set aside.

whipped cream

Place the whipping cream in a large bowl and whip with the wire whisk attachment of your beater. Gradually add the sugar while beating.

**If you don't have a large stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer just make half of the whipped cream at a time.

Beat until stiff peaks form.

Fold HALF of the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture. Set aside.

Arrange half of the cherries on top of the cream cheese mixture. Make sure that you get plenty of chocolate chips and cherries next to the glass so that it makes a nice looking layer when you are looking at the dish from the outside.

Layer the remainder of the cake squares next on top of the whipped cream but DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON THE CAKE LAYER or your layers will run together and you won't be able to see the different layers.

Sprinkle with the other half of the chocolate chips.
