Christmas Poke Cake is always a good idea. Chocolate peppermint poke cake is the perfect Christmas dessert.
This is wonderfully easy to make.
Start by baking a chocolate cake according to the directions on the box. Any version of chocolate cake will work. When the cake has completely cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over.
Whisk together the pudding mix, milk and mint extract.
Spread over the cake pushing the pudding into the holes.
Whip the cream with the cream cheese and vanilla until firm peaks form. Spread over the top.
Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Use a knife or skewer to swirl into the whipping cream (or cool whip). Sprinkle the top with crushed peppermint candy.
Refrigerate for a couple of hours to set. Store in the refrigerator.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
