Ingredients

  • 1 Chocolate Cake (baked in a 9x13 pan)
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cups chocolate pudding homemade or store-bought*
  • 4-5 heath candy bars* , crushed into small chunks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare chocolate pudding: here's my homemade chocolate pudding recipe, or use a large box of instant chocolate pudding.
  2. Cut the baked chocolate cake into small cubes. (Use our homemade chocolate cake, or a cake mix, baked in a 9x13'' pan.)
  3. Whip Cream: Place whipping cream in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric beaters for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. Assemble: Layer 1/3 of the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish. Dollop 1/3 of the pudding mixture over the cake. Sprinkle 1/3 of the heath bar pieces over the pudding. Spread 1/3 of the whipped cream over the heath bars. Repeat with two more layers.
  5. Refrigerate trifle for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Chocolate Pudding: For store-bought, use one 5.9oz box of instant chocolate pudding mix, prepared according to box instructions.
  • Chocolate Trifle with Brownies: Use homemade brownies instead of chocolate cake.
  • Heath Candy Bars: could substitute chopped Oreo cookies, or Reese's peanut butter cups.
