Chocolate Brownie Trifle Recipe

Brownies with Pudding = Yum

Sometimes when I really crave chocolate, only a brownie will do. I love the texture, the flavor, and the overall deliciousness of fresh brownies.

So, why not layer the gooey morsels into a pudding brownie dessert? There is absolutely no reason not to. As with all trifles, it’s easy to switch out the pudding flavor, or add or subtract anything you’d like in this recipe.

If brownie bites are more your thing, give these peanut butter cup brownie bites a try. Oooh, you could even add them to this trifle. That sounds delicious!

Brownie Trifle Recipe Notes and FAQ

What kind of brownies should I use in this trifle recipe?

How to make a chocolate trifle with brownies.

Why use a pan scraper to cut brownies?

Try using a pan scraper to cut your brownies. The brownies don’t stick to the pan scraper like they do to a metal knife. You’ll get cleaner edges and fewer crumbles of brownie while cutting. It may look time-consuming to do this, but it’s really not.
