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.

Do you like chocolate? You have to try this one. You really won't die, but you will think you have died and go to heaven. The prep time includes making the cake.

Provided by Miss Annie

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boxes instant chocolate pudding mix or 4 boxes chocolate mousse mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 box chocolate cake mix (or your own cake recipe)
1 cup Kahlua (optional)
6 Skor candy bars or 6 Heath candy bars, chopped (chocolate toffee bars)

Steps:

  • Prepare cake mix as directed, or make your own chocolate cake recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 inch pan.
  • When done, remove from the oven, poke holes in the cake and pour the kahlua over the cake.
  • Let cool.
  • Meanwhile prepare the pudding or mousse.
  • Tear or crumble the cake into pieces.
  • In a glass trifle bowl layer in this order: 1/3 of cake, 1/3 of pudding, 1/3 of whipped topping and 1/3 of candy bars.
  • Repeat layers ending with chopped candy bars on top.
  • 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 mishaps.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake properly: The cake should be baked until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Use a variety of chocolate toppings: You can use different types of chocolate chips, sprinkles, and ganache to decorate the cake.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cake can sometimes seem daunting, so comprehensive recipes with clear instructions are a baker's best friend. Try out the next Death by Chocolate cake recipe you see. You'll be sure to make something delicious that everyone will enjoy.
