Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box brownie mix (about 18 oz), plus eggs and oil called for on the box
  • 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz each)
  • 4 cups cold whole milk
  • 2 cups cold heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, for topping

Method
 

  1. Bake the brownies according to the package, cool completely, and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Whisk the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes, let stand 5 minutes, then refrigerate 15 minutes.
  3. Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  4. Layer one-third each brownie cubes, pudding, and whipped cream in a clear glass bowl. Repeat twice, ending with whipped cream.
  5. Top with chocolate shavings or your chosen topping, cover, and chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

The brownies need to cool completely before assembling, which takes about 30 minutes after baking. The trifle can be made the night before and chilled overnight, but wait to add the topping until just before serving if you want the crunch to stay crisp.
