To make mint chocolate trifle
Using a fork or food processor, crumble chocolate cake into small crumbs. Pour half into a glass trifle dish and spread out evenly. Pour heavy whipping cream into a separate large bowl and beat with electric hand mixer until frothy. Add in powdered sugar and continue beating until it forms stiff peaks. (Set some of this aside, if you choose to top with a few dollops of whipped cream.) Add peppermint extract and food coloring (a few drops at a time) and continue mixing. Add more drops, if necessary, to reach desired shade of green. Pour half of the green mint cream over first layer of cake crumbs in the trifle dish, and spread evenly, making sure to reach the sides of the bowl. Add second layer of chocolate cake crumbles on top. Add another layer of mint cream and spread evenly. Top with a few dollops of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired. Serve chilled & enjoy!
