Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 pan chocolate cake (9×13-inch), baked and cooled
Filling and Toppings
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz caramel sauce
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Heath or Skor bars, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
Instructions
- Make Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
- Prepare Cake: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes.
- First Layer: In a trifle dish, layer one-third of the cake chunks at the bottom. Drizzle with one-third of the sweetened condensed milk and one-third of the caramel sauce.
- Add Toppings: Add a generous layer of whipped cream over the cake mixture followed by a drizzle of fudge sauce.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining cake, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and fudge sauce.
- Top and Garnish: On the final layer, top with whipped cream and sprinkle chopped Heath or Skor bars over the top. Add more fudge sauce if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and dessert to set for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a well-baked chocolate cake for best texture, preferably homemade or store-bought.
- Make sure the heavy cream and mixing bowl are cold for optimal whipped cream results.
- You can substitute Heath or Skor bars with any crunchy toffee or chocolate candy bars.
- For a deeper chocolate flavor, warm the fudge sauce slightly before drizzling.
- Keep the trifle chilled until serving to maintain freshness and texture.
- Leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator and eaten within 2 days.
