Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Chocolate Biscuit

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Blend everything together until smooth.

Finally, carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s perfectly normal. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 2

Make the Caramel

In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously until it caramelizes and turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.

Once golden, remove from heat and immediately whisk in the heavy cream for a smooth texture. Stir in the roasted peanuts and set aside to cool.

Step 3

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, blend until fluffy and well combined.

Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to include any mixture stuck there. This ensures a uniform texture throughout the filling.

Step 4

Create the Chocolate Ganache

Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until fully melted and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to set.

Step 5

Assemble the Snickers Trifle

Once all elements are prepared, it’s time to assemble the trifle. Using clear cups or glasses, start with a layer of chocolate biscuit.

Add a layer of cream cheese filling, followed by a layer of the caramel with peanuts. Repeat the process: biscuit, cream, and finish with a layer of chocolate ganache on top.

Feel free to decorate the top with additional peanuts or chocolate shavings. Let the trifle sit for a couple of hours if possible to soak up flavors, or serve immediately for a delightful treat!

Servings

When it comes to serving these delightful Snickers Trifles, presentation is key! 🌟 Plating them in clear glass cups does more than just look beautiful; it creates an enticing display that draws everyone in. Consider adding a sprinkle of crushed peanuts on top for added crunch and a pop of flavor. You could also drizzle a bit of extra caramel sauce over the top or place a few mini Snickers bars for a playful touch. 🍫 Each bite promises a wonderful mix of textures: from the soft sponge to the creamy layers, every spoonful is a slice of heaven!

Want to make your gathering extra special? Serve them alongside a pot of hot chocolate or coffee. The warmth of the drinks pairs perfectly with the sweet and rich flavors of the trifles. Don’t forget to enjoy them with friends—sometimes, sharing sweetness makes it taste better. 😍✨

Equipment

Piping Bags

If you want to make beautiful layers, piping bags will help you create neat lines and avoid mess. An alternative is using a ziplock bag with a corner cut off.

Faq

  • What if I don’t have a piping bag?

    No worries! You can use a ziplock bag instead. Just fill it with your cream or ganache, cut off a small corner, and squeeze to create beautiful layers.

  • Can I make the layers in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the chocolate sponge and store it separate from the cream and caramel. Just assemble them a few hours before serving.

  • Is there a way to enhance the flavor of the sponge?

    Yes! Consider adding a splash of coffee or vanilla extract for an extra dimension of flavor. Just be careful not to overpower the chocolate.

  • How long can I store the assembled trifles?

    These trifles can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but they can last a little while if needed!

  • What type of chocolate works best for the ganache?

    Milk chocolate gives a sweet, creamy flavor, but you can also experiment with dark chocolate for a richer taste!

  • How can I make the ganache thicker?

    If you want a thicker ganache, use less cream than the amount of chocolate. Conversely, for a thinner ganache, add a bit more cream!
