Chocolate Brownie Trifle Recipe (Video)

Filed Under: Dessert Recipes, Recipes

Jump to Recipe

Brownies, chocolate pudding, whipped cream are layered to create this chocolate brownie trifle. It sounds fancy, but is SUPER easy to make.

If you love layered desserts you’ll love our layered eclair dessert and our angel food berry trifle.

It’s my oldest’s birthday and, once again, he has requested a brownie trifle instead of cake for his dessert. I think this is the third year that I’ve made it for him! I honestly don’t blame him, I’d rather have something other than birthday cake, too. This recipe is an oldie, but goodie, originally shared in 2012. A definite favorite in our family! Scroll to the end to see the other dishes we’ve used to prepare this brownie trifle including darling single-serve cups!

You can make it in a casserole dish, bowl, or (you guessed it) a trifle bowl.

Chocolate Brownie Trifle

You can eat it right after making it, but it really is so much better after letting it sit in the refrigerator for 8 hours or so. The layers meld together and soften the brownie layers even more. It is just perfect. Serve it to your friends or just grab a spoon and dig right in. It’s always a hit.

Ingredients

You will need a box of brownie mix (and ingredients to make the brownies like eggs and oil), 1 small package of chocolate pudding mix, a can of sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, milk, and a chocolate bar (optional garnish).

The brownies are cut into bite sized pieces, then layered with a mixture of pudding, whipped topping and sweetened condensed milk, and a layer of whipped cream. Two layers of each. Once everything is in the bowl, you can add small pieces of a chocolate bar on top as a garnish if you’d like (I didn’t this time).

    You moved to the Sac Area right? You know Thursday and Friday are going to be worse right? We are almost always above 100 for July and Aug. Just a tip (and welcome) from a Sac area reader.

    My teenage boys request this now, too! I’ve made it with gluten free brownie mix and it was just as fabulous. I love to make individual servings in 8 oz mason jars—so easy to transport.
