Description

This decadent Chocolate Toffee Trifle features layers of rich chocolate cake, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, fluffy whipped cream, chocolate fudge, and crunchy toffee bits. A perfect no-bake dessert to impress guests with minimal effort, served chilled for a luscious, creamy finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

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

Sweetened Condensed Layer

  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz caramel 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
  • 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill the whipped cream until ready to assemble the trifle.
  2. Cut Cake: Break the cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes, suitable for layering.
  3. First Layer: In a trifle dish, spread one third of the cake chunks evenly over the bottom. Drizzle one third of the sweetened condensed milk and one third of the caramel sauce over the cake pieces.
  4. Add Whipped Cream and Fudge: Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the caramel layer, and drizzle some of the chocolate fudge sauce on top.
  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, building the trifle in three layers total.
  6. Top and Garnish: Finish with a final layer of whipped cream. Sprinkle the chopped Heath or Skor bars evenly over the top and add extra fudge sauce if desired for decoration.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Notes

  • Use a cold bowl and cold heavy cream to ensure proper whipping of the cream.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before breaking it into pieces to prevent sogginess.
  • For extra texture, add chopped nuts or additional toffee bits between layers.
  • This trifle can be prepared a day ahead for enhanced flavors.
  • Use high-quality caramel and fudge sauces for the best taste.
