    I really enjoy the Easter holiday and all of the tasty little Easter desserts that we get to relish in during this time of year! But to be completely honest, I just love Carrot Cake, period. I just think that flavor is a really nice addition to the Easter holiday - or really just any old Spring day.

    It's such a light flavor and hello, CARROTS! Spring! Bunny rabbits! It just makes sense, right? Carrot Cake should be the official flavor of Spring Baking.

    HOW WILL YOU SPEND THE EASTER HOLIDAY DURING THE CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK?

    We will likely all spend Easter alone in our own homes, except maybe for me and one of my sisters who doesn’t have any children – I MAY go to my parents.

    I don’t even know if that is safe, as my parents are older…Everything is just so uncertain right now, with the main priority of course being that everyone to avoid each another and remaining healthy.

    What better time than now for us all to hunker down in our kitchens and try something new to make the holiday a little more exciting?

    How to Make This Carrot Cake Trifle Recipe for Easter

    Ingredients:

    • 1 box, carrot cake mix and ingredients to make cake
    • 1 small box, 3.4 oz, cheesecake flavored instant pudding
    • 2 cups milk
    • 1 tub, 8 oz, whipped topping, thawed
    • 6 fresh strawberries, washed and dried
    • orange candy melts
    • white candy melts

    Now, if you are reading this blog post in real time, during the Corona Virus outbreak of 2020, then you probably aren’t going to run out to the store right now! Ha ha! You can order most of the ingredients for this recipe on Amazon! I have actually put together a list for you here!


    Directions for making Carrot Cake Trifle:

    Bake cake mix according to package directions, making a 9x13 cake. Give it time to cool down completely.

    Carrot Cake Trifle Recipe for Easter

    In a large mixing bowl, add milk and pudding and whisk well. Refrigerate this for 5 minutes so that the pudding has a chance to set.

    Microwave about half a bag of orange candy melts according to package directions.

    Dip strawberries into candy and let set to harden on wax paper.

    Refrigerate if necessary for the candy coating to harden all of the way. 

    Next, you are going to microwave 2 tablespoons of white candy melts in a sandwich bag for 60 seconds on 50% power. Knead the candy in the bag until it is nice and smooth. You may need to microwave for an additional 30 seconds on 50% power if it isn't melted all the way. Just make sure to knead it again until smooth. Snip a small corner of the bag and drizzle the melted candy onto the strawberries. Let them set to harden.

    To assemble the trifle, cut the cake in half and cut each half into 1" cubes.
