This decadent Chocolate Toffee Trifle layers rich chocolate cake, luscious caramel and sweetened condensed milk, fluffy whipped cream, and crunchy toffee bits for a show-stopping dessert that’s sure to impress any crowd. Perfect for gatherings, it combines multiple textures and flavors in an easy no-bake assembly that’s best chilled to allow the flavors to meld.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

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

Sauces and Fillings

  • 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 Whipped Cream: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill the whipped cream until ready to use to ensure it stays firm and fluffy.
  2. Cube the Cake: Break the baked and cooled chocolate cake into small chunks or cubes, making it easier to layer in the trifle dish and to allow the flavors to soak in.
  3. First Layer Assembly: In a trifle dish, spread one third of the chocolate cake chunks evenly at the bottom. Drizzle one third of the sweetened condensed milk and one third of the caramel sauce over the cake pieces to infuse sweetness and moisture.
  4. Add Whipped Cream and Fudge: Spoon a generous layer of the prepared whipped cream over the soaked cake layer, followed by a drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce to add richness and contrast.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times using the remaining cake chunks, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate fudge sauce for a beautifully layered effect.
  6. Top and Garnish: Finish with a final layer of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle the chopped Heath or Skor bars evenly over the surface to add a crunchy, toffee texture. Optionally, add extra fudge sauce for a more decadent finish.
  7. Chill Before Serving: Cover and chill the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to meld and the flavors to deepen, giving the dessert its perfect texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use a cold bowl and cold whisk for whipping cream to achieve better volume.
  • The trifle can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated to save time.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the chocolate cake with a gluten-free chocolate cake.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk or caramel sauce slightly.
  • Customize the trifle by adding fresh berries or nuts between layers if desired.
