Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

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

Sweet Sauces

  • 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 the Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Chill the whipped cream until you’re ready to assemble the trifle.
  2. Cake Preparation: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes for layering.
  3. First Layer Assembly: Place one-third of the chocolate cake chunks at the bottom of a trifle dish. Drizzle one-third of the sweetened condensed milk and one-third of the caramel sauce evenly over the cake pieces.
  4. Add Whipped Cream and Fudge: Spoon a generous layer of the prepared whipped cream over the sauces, then drizzle with one-third of the chocolate fudge sauce.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times using the remaining cake, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and fudge sauce to build a beautiful layered trifle.
  6. Final Toppings: Spread a final layer of whipped cream on top of the last cake layer. Sprinkle the chopped Heath or Skor bars generously over the whipped topping. Optionally, drizzle additional fudge sauce over the top for extra indulgence.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Use a cold bowl and cold whipping cream to help the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.
  • The cake can be homemade or store-bought as long as it’s a chocolate flavor and fits the 9×13 inch pan size.
  • For a firmer trifle, chill overnight to enhance flavor blending and texture.
  • Substitute Heath or Skor bars with any toffee candy bars of your choice for a different flavor twist.
  • If desired, garnish with extra caramel or fudge sauce on individual servings for added richness.
