For the brownie layer
- 2 boxes brownie mix
- ingredients listed on brownie box
For the chocolate cream layer
- 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding 3.9-4 ounce boxes
- 16 ounces cool whip
- 2 cups milk cold
For the strawberry layer
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
To make the brownie layer
Follow the instructions on the boxed brownie mix and bake the brownies. I recommend baking them in a 9x13 pan that is lined with parchment paper. So, you should end up with two 9x13 brownie pans.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them up to assemble the trifle.
To make the chocolate cream layer
Add the two boxes of instant pudding to a large mixing bowl. Then add two total cups of cold milk.
Whisk together until thick and smooth.
Use a silicone spatula to fold in the cool whip. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Place the chocolate cream in the fridge until you need it for trifle assembly.
To assemble the strawberry brownie trifle
Cut the cooled brownies into 1-inch squares.
Thinly slice all but 3-4 strawberries. These will be used to line the trifle bowl for the strawberry layers. Chop up the remaining strawberries. Set aside.
To begin assembling the trifle, add a layer of brownies to the bottom of the bowl.
Then add a layer of chocolate cream.
Next, place the sliced strawberries around the edge of the trifle bowl (as pictured above). Sprinkle diced strawberries over the chocolate cream.
Repeat the steps above until you have filled your trifle bowl (you may have extra brownies or chocolate cream, depending on the size of your trifle bowl).
Top the trifle with a final layer of chocolate cream, then decorate with brownie crumbles and strawberries.
Store in the fridge and enjoy within 7 days.
