Ingredients

• 8 mini chocolate Swiss roll cakes (store-bought, lighter versions if available)
• 1 package (8 oz) light whipped topping (such as Cool Whip Free), thawed
• 1 package (8 oz) light cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
• Mini chocolate chips or shaved dark chocolate (optional topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Layer
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar (if using). Mix until light and fluffy.

2. Slice and Layer
Cut the Swiss rolls into thin slices (about 4 slices per roll). Line the bottom of an 8×8-inch dish or trifle bowl with a layer of slices.

3. Add Cream Mixture
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the Swiss roll slices. Add another layer of Swiss roll slices, then top with the remaining cream mixture.

4. Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and allow flavors to meld.

5. Serve
Top with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
