Better Than Sex Trifle Dessert

unsalted butter

unsweetened (cocoa powder)

water

espresso powder

all-purpose flour flour

sugar

baking soda

salt

eggs (room temperature)

buttermilk (or milk of choice)

vanilla extract

14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk

unsalted butter (room temperature, cut in chunks)

heavy cream (room temperature)

flaky sea salt

16-20 oz whipped cream sugar

3-5 Heath Bars

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.

Home-made Version: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt, set aside.

Place the butter, cocoa powder, water, and espresso powder in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat stirring until smooth and the cocoa has dissolved.  Pour the chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Add the buttermilk, vanilla and eggs and whisk until completely combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back after being gently pressed with a fingertip. Cool slightly and cut into cake one inch squares.

Chocolate Sheet Cake or 1 Chocolate Cake Mix + Ingredients for 9x13 sheet pan prepared as directed on package.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake and place cake in fridge to prepare the whipped cream and caramel if making from scratch.

Sweetened Condensed Milk Layer

Place the sugar in a medium sized heavy bottom saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring constantly. The sugar will start to form clumps, then begin to melt. Cook until is it amber in color, then remove from the heat and immediately add all of the butter. Be careful as the caramel will bubble rapidly. Once the butter is incorporated, add the cream and stir well. Stir in the salt, and pour into a glass jar until ready to use.

Home-made Salted Caramel Sauce or use Pre-made Salted Caramel Sauce

To make fresh whipped topping: Add 4-5 heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar and beat on medium for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium high and continue beating until stiff peaks form approx 5 mins in all. Don’t overbeat, or you’ll end up with lumpy butter.

16 - 20 oz Whipped cream or 4-5 cups heavy whipping cream + 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Chop up Heath bars, set aside

Heath Bar Layer

Time to layer, then layer again...

Place and layer ½ of drenched sweetened condensed milk chocolate cake cubes into the bottom of trifle bowl.

Drizzle some salted caramel over cake cubes.

Sprinkle some Heath Bar bits over caramel/cake cubes.

Spoon or pipe a whipped cream layer on top of cake cubes, then repeat layers one more time, then pipe a whipped cream border if you wish.  Add some more salted caramel sauce and heath bits. The more the merrier!

Refrigerate overnight or up to 6 hours.  Let&#x27;s Party!
