Description

This delicious and visually stunning Decadent Caramel Chocolate Trifle features layers of rich chocolate brownies, smooth cream cheese mixture, and decadent sauces.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch chocolate brownies (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chocolate sauce
  • as needed chocolate chunks or toffee bits for garnish
  • as needed sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: If making from scratch, bake the chocolate brownies according to your favorite recipe or package instructions. Let them cool and cut into small cubes.

  2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

  3. Assemble the Trifle: In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start by layering brownie cubes at the bottom. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the brownies. Drizzle with a generous amount of caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with the cream cheese mixture on top.

  4. Garnish: Drizzle the top layer with additional caramel and chocolate sauces. Sprinkle chocolate chunks or toffee bits on top for added texture. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

  5. Chill and Serve: Allow the trifle to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added depth of flavor, consider using a mix of dark and milk chocolate brownies.
  • To enhance the caramel flavor, use a salted caramel sauce.
  • This dessert can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for parties or gatherings.
  • Feel free to experiment with layers by adding fruit like bananas or strawberries for a fruity twist.
