A simple, make-ahead dessert featuring layers of chocolate cake, creamy pudding, crunchy toffee, and whipped topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for homemade whipped topping)
  • 1 cup toffee bits (or chopped Heath bars)
  • 2 cups chocolate pudding (instant or freshly made)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or whipped cream)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bake the chocolate cake according to the package directions. Let it cool completely, then crumble it into bite-size pieces.
  2. Prepare the chocolate pudding in a large bowl following the package directions.
  3. Spread half of the crumbled cake evenly across the bottom of your trifle dish. Press lightly.
  4. Spoon half of the chocolate pudding over the cake, smoothing it gently.
  5. Scatter half of the toffee bits over the pudding layer.
  6. Fold the whipped topping into the remaining pudding until just combined. Spread half of this over the toffee.
  7. Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, pudding, and toffee, finishing with the remaining whipped topping.
  8. Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
  9. Refrigerate the trifle for at least one hour to let the layers set before serving.

Notes

Chill the dish before assembling for better layer shape. Add toffee bits just before serving for maximum crunch.
