Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (or homemade equivalent) chocolate cake
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate candy bars (e.g., crushed Heath, Snickers, or chocolate toffee bars)
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce (optional)
Instructions
Bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe. Let the cake cool completely.
Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking together the pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it chill in the refrigerator to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form to make homemade whipped cream.
Cut the cooled chocolate cake into cubes, approximately 1 to 2 inches in size.
Using a large trifle dish or glass bowl, start layering the dessert. Add a layer of chocolate cake cubes to the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, a layer of whipped cream, and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips and crushed chocolate candy bars.
Repeat the layers until the dish is full, ending with whipped cream on top.
If desired, drizzle the last layer with hot fudge sauce. Top with additional mini chocolate chips and crushed chocolate candy bars for decoration.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with a big spoon to scoop all the layers into each serving dish. Enjoy!
