We were looking for a festive shenanigan that would be a perfect fit for a New Year’s party. After looking for a while, Kristen remembered that every year her Aunt Kathy makes an awesome Kahlua Chocolate Trifle. We thought this would be a perfect New Year’s Eve dessert to ring in the new year. If you aren’t familiar with trifles, they are layered cakes, that look very impressive and taste amazing! This Kahlua Chocolate Trifle is one of the easiest and most loved shenanigans that we have done so far. Be careful, because if you make this once you will be asked to make it every time!
