Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pan chocolate cake (9×13-inch), baked and cooled

Sweet Layers

  • 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

Toppings

  • 6 Heath or Skor bars, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to use to maintain firmness.
  2. Chunk the Cake: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes, ideal for layering in the trifle dish.
  3. First Layer Assembly: In a trifle dish, layer one-third of the cake chunks at the bottom. Drizzle evenly with one-third of the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce to soak the cake and add moisture.
  4. Add Cream and Fudge: Spoon a generous layer of the whipped cream over the soaked cake, then drizzle chocolate fudge sauce on top for a rich finish.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times using the remaining cake chunks, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and fudge sauce for a beautifully layered trifle.
  6. Top with Toppings: Finish by topping the final whipped cream layer with chopped Heath or Skor bars to add a crunchy toffee flavor. Add extra fudge sauce if desired for more richness.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow layers to meld and flavors to develop, ensuring the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use a cold bowl and beaters for whipping the cream to achieve better volume and stability.
  • Allow the cake to fully cool before breaking and assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • For a more decadent dessert, drizzle extra fudge sauce on each layer or on the top before serving.
  • This trifle can be made a day ahead; just cover tightly and keep refrigerated.
  • Heath and Skor bars are similar toffee candy bars and can be interchanged based on preference.
