Ingredients
Cherry Chip Cake
- 1 box cherry chip cake mix
- Ingredients required on the cake mix box, in the amounts listed on the package
Cranberry Mousse
- 2 1/2 cups Cool Whip
- 1/4 cup 100% cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce
Garnishes
- About 1 cup sliced strawberries, plus extra slices for garnish
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Peppermint dust sprinkles, as needed
- Green sugar, as needed
- 2 to 3 candy canes, broken into small pieces
Instructions
- Bake the cake.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the cherry chip cake mix according to the package directions, using the ingredients and amounts listed on the box. Bake as directed, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Make the cranberry mousse.
Add the Cool Whip, cranberry juice, and cranberry sauce to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix until evenly combined and fluffy.
- Layer the dessert cups.
Crumble cooled cake into the bottom of each serving cup. Add a layer of cranberry mousse, followed by sliced strawberries, then another layer of mousse. Smooth the tops with a butter knife.
- Garnish and serve.
Decorate with peppermint sprinkles, green sugar, strawberry slices, and a piece of candy cane. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- The cake mix package directions vary by brand, so use the specific ingredients and measurements printed on your box.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before crumbling and assembling the cups so the mousse stays fluffy.
- For a make-ahead dessert, assemble the cups and refrigerate them; add the candy cane garnish just before serving to help it stay crisp.
- Strawberries, sprinkles, green sugar, and candy canes are listed without exact amounts because they are used to taste and for decorating.
