Death By Caffeine Mocha Trifle Recipes

CHOCOLATE KAHLUA® TRIFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a mixing bowl until smooth, and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the brownies shows moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Set the brownies aside, and cool completely. Use a chopstick or the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the brownies, about 1/2-inch apart; drizzle the coffee liqueur all over the brownies. Let the brownies stand 5 minutes to soak up the liqueur.
• In a bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes; allow to stand 5 more minutes to set.
• To assemble dessert, cut the brownies up into small cubes. Layer 1/3 of the brownies into the bottom of a glass trifle bowl, and top with a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped topping. Repeat twice more, ending with whipped topping. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

DEATH BY CAFFEINE (MOCHA TRIFLE)

Steps:

• Cut the sponge cake into half inch cubes (doesn't have to be perfect). Place the cake cubes in a large bowl and pour the cooled coffee evenly over the cubes. Toss to distribute and coat the cubes.
• Combine the dairy topping, yogurt, and liqueurs in another bowl. Set aside.
• In a small bowl toss the chips and the nuts. Set aside.
• To assemble the trifle use a trifle bowl or any pretty bowl(see-through is best) that will hold about 12 cups.
• Place 1/3 of the cake cubes in the bottom of the bowl. Top that with 1/3 of the whipped topping mixture. Sprinkle 1/3 of the chip and nut mixture over that.
• Repeat the layers two more times.
• Chill at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls or chocolate covered espresso beans, more mini chocolate chips, or even fresh berries.
• NOTES: 1) You can make your own sponge cake if you like, or simply buy one from the bakery or store. If you can't find one, you can use the bar cake or little dessert cups used for strawberry shortcake (it will take 10 of the little cups to make 6c. cut up) 2) Make your own sweetened whipped cream with 3 c. chilled whipping cream, beat to soft peaks, then gradually beat in 1/2 c. sugar, until sugar is dissolved (rub a bit between your fingers). Or use something like Cool Whip REAL Whipped Cream. 3) If you can't find chocolate yogurt use vanilla, and mix in 2 T. of chocolate sauce or syrup. 4) Liqueurs used were Starbucks Cappuccino (coffee), and Godiva (chocolate). I like Tia Maria, Kahlua, and Bailey's brands liqueurs, but whatever you have will work. 5) You can make this dessert even more elegant by layering in individual dessert dishes.

• Drizzle liqueur over cake. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, make chocolate mousse as directed on box. Cover and refrigerate until cake is ready.
• To assemble, crumble one-fourth to one-third of cake into bottom of very large trifle or punch bowl. I like to use a punch bowl, which is typically much bigger than your typical trifle bowl.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE IN A TRIFLE BOWL :)

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.
