Ingredients

  • 2 boxes Jell-O Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
  • 3 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 large container Cool Whip (divided)
  • 1 chocolate fudge cake (store-bought or homemade), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 bottle caramel sauce
  • 1 bag toffee bits or Butterfinger bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake layer:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Jell-O cheesecake mixes and milk until smooth and thickened.
  2. Fold in Cool Whip:
    Once the cheesecake mixture has set, gently fold in about ⅔ of the Cool Whip until fully combined and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the trifle:
    • Spread 1 cup of the cheesecake mixture in the bottom of a deep-dish casserole pan or trifle bowl.
    • Add ⅓ of the cubed chocolate cake on top.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toffee or Butterfinger bits.
    • Layer 2–3 cups of the cheesecake mixture over the cake layer.
    • Repeat these layers until you reach the top, ending with a layer of cake, caramel drizzle, and candy bits.
  4. Top it off:
    Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the top. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and sprinkle on more candy bits for garnish.
  5. Chill:
    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
