Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 recipe Decadent Brownie, room temperature, recipe follows
1 recipe Chocolate Pudding, room temperature, recipe follows
5 (1.4-ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for pan
1 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/3 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
4 egg yolks
2 cups milk, divided

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 1 (12 to 16 cup) glass trifle bowl or 12 to 16 individual small trifle bowls
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Whip in the almond extract and confectioners'sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over whip, the cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.
  • When completely cool, use your hands to crumble the brownies into smaller pieces. In a glass trifle bowl, layer in the following order: crumbled brownies, about 1 1/2 cups pudding, 1 1/2 crumbled toffee bars, about 1 3/4 cups whipped cream. Repeat the layers in the same order. Save the last 2 toffee bars to crumble and sprinkle on top before serving.
  • For individual small trifle bowls, layer in the following order: crumbled brownie, pudding, crushed chocolate covered toffee bars and whipped cream.
  • Garnish with more crumbled toffee bars. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For your brownie batter, melt your butter in a medium (or large) heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  • While the butter is melting, whisk your natural cocoa powder, sea salt and sugar in a separate bowl. (The sugar and salt will work as abrasive agents to get any lumps out of the cocoa.) Whisk the cocoa/sugar/salt combo into the melted butter. Continue to whisk the ingredients together in the bowl over the simmering water until the sugar has dissolved fully. The mixture should look like fudge and pull away from the bowl into a ball. Remove from the heat and set on a dishtowel on your counter, and allow the fudgy mixture to cool down until it's warm, but not hot anymore.
  • While that is cooling, line the bottom and sides of your 9 by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil. You want to leave about 4 inches of overhang on the 2 opposite sides. These serve as your handles to remove the brownies from the pan in 1 piece, so make sure that there is enough of the overhang for you to have a solid grip. Grease the parchment or foil well.
  • Stir in the vanilla into the cooled fudge mixture to loosen it up. Add the eggs into the mixture 1 at a time, adding the second egg after the first egg is fully incorporated. The batter should look shiny and well blended. Add in your flour and stir it until it's fully incorporated. Once it looks fully blended, beat the batter vigorously for at least 45 strokes. This'll not only get out any pent up stress, but it will make the brownies chewy. Fold in your chocolate chips. Spread the very thick and fudgy brownie batter evenly in the lined pan with an offset spatula or your greased hands.
  • Pop the brownies in the oven and bake until they get a nice crust and your house smells like brownies, 30 to 35 minutes. Let them cool completely on a rack or a dishtowel on your counter.
  • Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder and flour in a bowl until there are no lumps. Crack the eggs into the bowl, add the yolks and whisk into a paste. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk until fully incorporated. Then whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk. Put the milk mixture into a saucepan and put over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it starts to look like pudding. It will begin to bubble and it will hold soft peaks when you lift the whisk out. Take off the heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Cook's Note: To prevent a skin from forming, cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing down directly on the surface of the pudding. Poke a few holes throughout to allow to cool to room temperature.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE TRIFLE



Death by Chocolate Trifle image

This I have made many ways. If you don't like coffee and want a sweet dessert kids will LOVE, use sweetened condensed milk to pour over the cake (about 2/3 of the can) and refrigerate until completely cool. If you want a party dessert adults will love, use Kaluha, about 1/2 cup. Cool whip makes a great sub for whipped cream (might even be better!) but I am trying to use less "fake" foods so I choose to do real. the cool whip holds up better if this will be around for days though! Chocolate mousse is my favorite here, but lots of people have a hard time finding it, i know only a few stores around me carry it so I am listing it with pudding, but if you can find mousse, USE IT!

Death by Chocolate Trifle Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 12

Grilled Strawberries:
2 lbs strawberries, hulled and halved
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
Trifle:
2-1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup cold strong coffee
2 (3.9-oz) packages chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
1 (16-oz) container whipped topping, divided
1 lb chocolate cake, cut into 1" pieces
1 (14.3-oz) package Oreos, crumbled

Steps:

  • To prepare the grilled strawberries, preheat an outdoor grill over high heat. Place the halved strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a medium-size bowl. Toss until the strawberries are fully coated and then place them in a nonstick grill pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, tossing constantly. Place the berries back into the bowl and add the strawberry preserves. Mix until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until completely cold. To prepare the pudding, whisk together the milk, coffee, and the packages of instant pudding in a large bowl until the mixture is thick. Fold in half of the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold. Use a large trifle bowl to assemble the trifle. Place 1/3 of the chocolate cake pieces into the bowl followed by 1/3 of the pudding mixture, 1/3 of the grilled strawberries, and 1/3 of the remaining whipped topping. End with 1/3 of the crushed Oreos. Repeat this process 2 more times, finishing with the whipped topping and crushed Oreos. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boxes instant chocolate pudding or mousse
1 large container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 C Kahlua
6 Skor or Heath candy bars (any toffee bars), chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare cake mix according to directions and bake. When done, remove from the oven, poke holes in the cake and pour Kahlua over the cake. Allow to cool. Meanwhile prepare the pudding or mousse. Tear or crumble the cake into pieces. In a trifle bowl, layer cake, pudding, whipped topping, then candy bars. Repeat layers and chill well.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use the best chocolate, butter, and flour that you can find.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until it is just done: Overbaking the cake will make it dry and crumbly. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before assembling the trifle: This will help prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of textures in your trifle: The combination of cake, pudding, mousse, and whipped cream creates a delicious and visually appealing dessert.
  • Chill the trifle before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
