Indulge your sweet tooth with the ultimate chocolate extravaganza - the Death by Chocolate Trifle. This decadent dessert combines rich chocolate cake, velvety chocolate mousse, and a luscious chocolate ganache, creating an explosion of chocolatey goodness in every bite. Assembled in a trifle bowl, this showstopping dessert is perfect for special occasions, potlucks, or simply when you need a chocolate fix.
The Death by Chocolate Trifle features three distinct recipes, each contributing to its heavenly taste. The chocolate cake recipe yields a moist and fluffy cake that serves as the base of the trifle.

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.

Steps:
- First, cut the frozen cake into squares.
- I first cut the cake into half and it's easier this way.
- Take 1/2 of the cake that you cut into squares and place them in the bottom of the trifle bowl.
- Put 1 can of the pudding on top of the cake then spread 1 carton of the cool whip on top of the pudding.
- I put the candy bars in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin, put 1/2 of the candy mixture on top of the cool whip.
- Then put the remaining cake, pudding, cool whip and top with remaining candy bars on top.
- This needs a warning, very addictive.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your trifle will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure your chocolate is properly tempered. Tempering is a process of heating and cooling chocolate in a specific way that makes it shiny, smooth, and less likely to seize.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and stiff. Beat it until it is just stiff enough to hold its shape.
- Layer the trifle carefully. Start with a layer of cake, then a layer of chocolate mousse, then a layer of whipped cream, and so on. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle bowl.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
Conclusion:
Death by Chocolate in a Trifle Bowl is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and chocolate ganache, it is sure to satisfy even the most chocolate-loving sweet tooth. This trifle is also relatively easy to make, and it can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts and hostesses.
