layered chocolate brownie trifle

one of my favorite go-to crowd pleaser desserts is this layered chocolate brownie trifle

my cousin gave me the recipe a long time ago when we were still young and our kids were just babies

thanks cousin :)

i've made it so many times over the years

it's always well received and there's rarely any leftovers

here's what you need:

2 & 1/2 cups of milk

2 packages of instant chocolate pudding (4 servings size)

1 package brownie mix

1 - 16oz tub of whipped topping

strawberries or raspberries for garnish

bake the brownies as directed on the box the night before 

and the day of, all you have to do is assemble ... which takes less than 30 minutes

so the next day or whenever the brownies are cool 

cut them into one inch squares and set aside

to make the chocolate mousse part

whisk together the milk and both boxes of pudding then fold in half of the whipped topping

use the other half to layer between the mousse and the brownies

layer brownies on the bottom of a trifle dish

then layer half of the chocolate mousse

then half of the remaining whipped topping

then repeat all that once more :)

you can also switch the strawberries on top for raspberries, shaved chocolate, heath toffee bits or really anything you can think of 

i added this recipe to my project life recipe book using the PL app that you can download right onto your phone for a dollar or two ... i use it to document all our family photos and i've started organizing my recipes with it as well, i love it!

i hope you try this next time your have to feed a bunch of people dessert!

enjoy ♥
