Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 2 cups brownies or chocolate cake, cut into cubes

Filling

  • 2 cups chocolate pudding
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Cut brownies or chocolate cake into approximately 1-inch cubes to create easy-to-layer pieces for the trifle dish.
  2. Start layering: In a clear trifle dish, place a layer of brownie or cake cubes to cover the bottom evenly.
  3. Add pudding layer: Spoon a generous layer of chocolate pudding over the cake cubes, smoothing gently to cover the base completely.
  4. Apply whipped topping: Spread a layer of whipped topping evenly over the pudding to add creaminess and light texture.
  5. Repeat layering: Continue layering in the same order—cake, pudding, then whipped topping—until the trifle dish is filled to the top.
  6. Garnish the trifle: Sprinkle chocolate chips and toffee bits evenly over the final layer of whipped topping for a crunchy, sweet finish.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow layers to set and flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • For best texture, use fresh whipped topping and firm brownies or cake that hold shape well when cubed.
  • Can be assembled a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to substitute the chocolate pudding with vanilla or caramel pudding for variation.
  • For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts along with the toffee bits.
  • Serve chilled for optimal flavor and texture contrast.
