Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 pan chocolate cake (9×13-inch), baked and cooled
Sauces & Sweeteners
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz caramel sauce
- 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toffee Topping
- 6 Heath or Skor bars, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill the whipped cream until ready to use to maintain its texture.
- Chunk the Cake: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes, ensuring the pieces are bite-sized for layering.
- First Layer Assembly: In a trifle dish, place one-third of the cake chunks evenly at the bottom. Drizzle with one-third of the sweetened condensed milk followed by one-third of the caramel sauce.
- Add Whipped Cream and Fudge: Spread a generous layer of the prepared whipped cream over the cake and sauces. Then drizzle a layer of fudge sauce on top of the whipped cream.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times using the remaining cake chunks, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and fudge sauce, building the trifle up.
- Final Topping: Top the last layer with a final generous spread of whipped cream. Sprinkle chopped Heath or Skor bars evenly over the whipped cream. Add extra fudge sauce on top if desired for added richness.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
Notes
- Use a cold bowl and cold cream for easier whipping and better volume.
- For best results, make the trifle a few hours ahead or the night before serving.
- You can substitute Heath or Skor bars with other toffee or chocolate candy bars as desired.
- Ensure the chocolate cake is completely cooled before breaking it into chunks to avoid sogginess.
- The trifle can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
