  • Total Time: 50 minutes plus refrigeration
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 560 grams brownie mix or homemade brownies

– 110 grams instant chocolate pudding mix

– 480 milliliters whole milk

– 225 grams frozen whipped topping or whipped cream, thawed

– 340 grams frozen whipped topping or whipped cream, thawed

– 43 grams chocolate candy or toffee bits for topping

Instructions

1-Gather and Prep Your Ingredients: First, prepare the brownies as per the package instructions or use homemade ones, then let them cool and cut into 2.5 cm squares. In a large bowl, mix the instant chocolate pudding mix with 480 milliliters of cold whole milk, beating for 2 minutes until it’s smooth and thick. Fold in 225 grams of thawed whipped topping or whipped cream to blend everything well.

2-Assemble the Layers: Next, in a trifle bowl or glass dish, add half of the brownie squares as the base. Layer on half of the pudding mixture, sprinkle a few chocolate candy or toffee bits, and top with half of the 340 grams of thawed whipped topping. Repeat these steps for a second layer to build that classic trifle look.

3-Finish and Chill: For the final touch, garnish the top with shaved chocolate or more toffee bits. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld. The total prep time is about 30 minutes, cook time 20 minutes, and chilling makes the full experience worth it.
