This Scoop of Heaven Trifle is an easy and indulgent dessert featuring layers of Devil’s Food cake, sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, caramel, and toffee bits. A beginner-friendly, make-ahead showstopper perfect for holidays, potlucks, and celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (prepared as directed)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 16 oz whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 22 oz caramel syrup
  • 8 oz Heath English Toffee Bits
  • 1 King-Sized Heath bar, crushed (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cake: Prepare Devil’s Food cake as directed on the box. Let it cool until warm (not hot).
  2. Slice and Soak: Cut the warm cake into bite-sized pieces. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the pieces and let it soak.
  3. Layer in Trifle Dish: Add one-third of the cake into a trifle dish. Top with a layer of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel syrup, and a sprinkle of toffee bits.
  4. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers (cake, cream, caramel, toffee) two more times.
  5. Top and Chill: Finish with whipped cream and sprinkle crushed Heath bar on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Can be made up to 1 day in advance.
  • Use homemade cake or brownies for variation.
  • Great served in glass bowls, trifle dishes, or individual cups.
  • Don’t freeze—texture changes significantly.
  • Adjust caramel amount if you prefer it less sweet.
