Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 pan chocolate cake (9×13-inch), baked and cooled
Condiments
- 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
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill the whipped cream until ready to use to maintain its texture.
- Prepare Cake: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes, which will create the base layers of the trifle.
- First Layer Assembly: In a trifle dish, layer one-third of the cake chunks evenly at the bottom. Drizzle with one-third of the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce to infuse moisture and sweetness.
- Add Cream and Fudge: Add a generous layer of whipped cream over the cake and drizzle with chocolate fudge sauce to add richness and texture.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining cake chunks, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and fudge sauce to build the trifle.
- Final Topping: Top the final layer with whipped cream and evenly sprinkle the chopped Heath or Skor bars over the top. Add more fudge sauce if desired for extra indulgence.
- Chill: Chill the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and set for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use a cold bowl and cold cream to achieve the best whipping results.
- You can substitute caramel sauce with butterscotch sauce for a different flavor profile.
- The trifle can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated overnight to enhance the flavors further.
- For a festive touch, garnish the top with extra toffee bits or chocolate shavings.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of caramel sauce or fudge drizzle.
