Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (or homemade equivalent) Chocolate cake
- 2 3.4 oz boxes Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups Milk
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Toffee bits (such as Heath or Skor)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the chocolate cake according to package instructions or your preferred recipe. Allow it to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking together the pudding mix and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Once the cake has cooled, cut it into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a trifle dish or large clear bowl, assemble the trifle. Start with a layer of chocolate cake cubes, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, then a layer of whipped cream. Sprinkle a handful of toffee bits over the whipped cream.
Repeat layers (cake, pudding, whipped cream, toffee bits) until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a layer of whipped cream.
Garnish the top with additional toffee bits and optional chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
