Ingredients

Scale

Cake

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

Sauces & Sweeteners

  • 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. Make the 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.
  2. Prepare the cake: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes suitable for layering in the trifle dish.
  3. First layer: In a trifle dish, add one-third of the chocolate cake chunks at the bottom. 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 whipped cream over the soaked cake, then drizzle with chocolate fudge sauce.
  5. Repeat layering: Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining chocolate cake chunks, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and fudge sauce.
  6. Final toppings: On the topmost layer, spread whipped cream and sprinkle the chopped Heath or Skor bars evenly. Optionally, drizzle extra fudge sauce over the top for added richness.
  7. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use a cold mixing bowl and cold cream to achieve the best whipped cream texture.
  • Substitute Heath or Skor bars with any crunchy toffee or chocolate candy bars if desired.
  • For easier layering, the chocolate cake can be slightly crumbled instead of cut into chunks.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead to improve flavor but ensure it is well covered to prevent drying out.
  • Adjust the amount of caramel and fudge sauces to suit your preferred sweetness and richness levels.
