Instructions
For the Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and add in the chocolate chips and sugar.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add in eggs one at a time, stirring completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using big strokes, stir just until mixed and can no longer see the dry ingredients. Do not beat or over stir.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 22-24 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before assembling trifle.
For the Filling
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. Fold in the tub of Cool Whip until combined.
To Assemble
- Cut brownies into bite size pieces. Lay half the cubes of brownies into the bottom of a trifle bowl (or large glass bowl). Pour half of the chocolate pudding mixture onto the brownies.
- Drizzle the chocolate pudding with half of the hot fudge sauce and sprinkle with half cup of the toffee bits. Top with half of the Cool Whip.
- Repeat layers with brownies, pudding, hot fudge, and 1/2 cup toffee bits. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits over the top of the trifle.
- Cover and chill for 4 hours until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a glass bowl or trifle dish—the fun thing about trifles is being able to peek at the layers through the side of the dish!
- Feel free to use store-bought brownies for this brownie trifle if you're short on time. Just make sure they're fudgy and delicious, and not too dry.
- You can use my easy chocolate cake in place of the brownies for a delicious trifle recipe.
- For a boozy twist, add a splash of your favorite liqueur to the pudding mixture. Or drizzle it over the brownie layers before adding the pudding. Kahlua would be fantastic!
- To make individual trifles, use small mason jars or plastic wine cups. This creates a cute, personal-sized chocolate brownie trifle dessert option.
- Don't hesitate to experiment with different tastes and garnishes! You can adapt this brownie trifle recipe to match your preferences or the occasion. Experiment with different pudding flavors, brownie recipes, sauces, and candies.
