It’s time for Valentine’s Day… booze, whipped cream, cake… ’nuff said.

I know what you’re thinking “these look like a lot of work!“. Well I’ve made a few shortcuts this time, so these Boozy Red Velvet Trifles have all the goodness, but come together in much less time. Besides, it’s a special day, so make something you can enjoy just as much as your Valentine.

Boozy-Red-Velvet-Trifles_6 Let me start by saying that even posting these photos makes me want to go and make more… so delicious! Here’s what we’re talking about:


Red velvet cake

Raspberries with liqueur

Sweetened cream cheese sauce

Whipped cream

and repeat…. total yum.

Boozy-Red-Velvet-Trifles_4 I made two huge trifles, but a person with a normal sweet tooth would probably make 4 smaller ones. I piped the whipped cream on the top (so it looked pretty), and sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings. Not too many, don’t want this to be too sweet… totally kidding… pile them on! Maybe sprinkle some inside as well!!

    Hi, do you think this would keep if it was made a couple of hours ahead of time or would the cake get soggy?

      Hi Celeste, it will totally be fine making ahead. You what the cake to absorb some of the liquid, that makes it a great trifle. I even had one left over in the fridge and it was still pretty great the next day!

    Do the fresh raspberries have to be mashed down before you mixed them with the frozen berries?

      You can leave them whole or mash them just a bit – up to you. I mashed mine a bit.

    Would this be just as good with strawberries instead of raspberries?

      Sure, make sure they are ripe so you can mash them a bit.

    Is there another type of liquer I could use? Possibly cognac?

      Sure! Anything that can get a little ‘mushy’. Blackberries, strawberries or blueberries.

      I made two HUGE trifles. Depending on the size of your glasses it could stretch to 4 small servings. Having said that it is not an exact thing, you can always add more raspberries or whipping cream to fill out more servings.

      You can leave it out, or add a few tablespoons of juice – apple or orange.

    Is the cake layered in there or is it on the side? Where do the chunks go?

      Place them in a rough layer, like you would with a trifle.
