Black Forest Trifle

Some desserts are tough to top. Put this black forest trifle up against any other flavor combination and this is guaranteed to win every time. A traditional black forest cake has the components of a dark chocolate cake plus whipped cream and cherries. In this trifle we’ve got all that, plus a little extra something. The combination of the classic mocha chocolate paired with the cooling cherry flavor and slight crunch of the Oreo mixes for the perfect bite. The rich espresso flavor gives it an unfamiliar zing that keeps your mouth begging for more.

And the instructions imply that there are 2 layers, but the photo shows only one. This is too confusing

Correct, the picture is only one layer. I think it really depends on the size of your cup and you can do either one or two layers.

How much is a can. In Australia it might not be the same as in the US, or maybe other countries don't have cans at all. And what if they downsize the can, what shall we do then. Better to give the actual size.
