Ingredients
Scale
1 cup chocolate cake (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups chocolate pudding mix (instant)
2 cups whole milk
1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
¼ cup chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the chocolate cake according to package instructions if using store-bought; otherwise, bake from scratch and let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and whole milk until smooth. Let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
If making whipped cream, beat cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; sweeten with sugar if desired.
Crumble the cooled chocolate cake into a large glass bowl or individual serving cups. Layer with chocolate pudding and whipped cream. Repeat layers until filled.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries if desired.
