Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch round or square Chocolate cake
- 3.4 oz Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Caramel sauce
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 4 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bake the chocolate cake according to the package or your favorite recipe. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding. If using a store-bought cake, ensure it is fresh.
Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix with the milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Slice the cooled chocolate cake into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, layer the dessert as follows: Start with a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom.
Drizzle the cake layer with a generous amount of caramel sauce, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Add a layer of chocolate pudding, spreading it evenly over the caramel-drizzled cake.
Top the pudding with a layer of whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Repeat the layers (cake, caramel, pudding, whipped cream) until the bowl is full or you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing the top with whipped cream.
Garnish the top layer with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
