Everyone has their version of this dessert, and this actually comes from my sister, it’s one of her family’s favorite desserts! And it’s so easy to make ahead it’s great for when you’ll be having lots of company over, or going to a party and bringing a treat.
Rather than just make cake this trifles layers all the goopy goodness and ends up SO moist and delicious. My sisters version just uses cool whip, but I like making my own whipped cream. BUT you want to be able to make it a day ahead and not totally dissolve, so STABILIZED whipped cream!

This looks delicious however, does the pretty whipped cream hold up sitting in the refrigerator after all those hours?
Can’t wait to try this out, possibly for one of our Ladies Supper Club night!!!
Ashlee Marie
that’s why I stabilize the whipped cream

Hi Ashlee Marie, this trifle is like death by chocolate! I am going to “save” the recipe, if my husband sees this on the emails, he will wish me to put this together right now! I really would love to make this a bit later, perhaps give them a good treat for Easter, the Easter weekend is 4 days!! I am so trying to loose weight, how can I with such deliciousness floating around? Thanks for sharing, I will make this according to your recipe. Looking forward to also show off a bit, yikes, I need a trifle glass dish!!

Haha don’t you just love it when people just look at the time and don’t actually read the recipe then comment on things they have no idea about because ….THEY DIDN’T READ THE RECIPE!! Geez. Anyway, I did make something like this recipe but used brownies w/walnuts, beat cheese with the cool whip and powdered sugar and layered it like the recipe using the caramel and condensed milk….didn’t let it set but an hour in the fridge before serving…oh and I added butterfinger bits with the heath bits….totally divine! Big hit at the party….nothing left!
Kathleen
OMG….made this for a bbq and my guest LOVED it!,!!
Jackie
looks heavenly! any suggestions for a spooky Halloween adult party version??
Ashlee Marie
so sorry to get betting back to you late- you can color the caramel sauce red, it makes a gooey thick “blood”. You can dye the whipped cream tan and pipe the tip into a “brain” then add a drizzle of “blood” over it.
