Mint Brownie and Oreo Hot Fudge Trifle
Description
The Mint Brownie and Oreo Hot Fudge Trifle assembles a layered dessert using brownie cubes, mint-flavored Oreos, a creamy mint-infused whipped cream, and warm hot fudge. The whipped cream starts by smoothing softened cream cheese with some heavy cream before adding powdered sugar, mint extract, and remaining cream to whip the mixture into a thick, fluffy topping. This creamy layer adds a fresh minty note and stability.
Layering begins with one-third of the brownie pieces, followed by a layer of the mint cream cheese whipped cream, chopped mint Oreos, and drizzled hot fudge sauce. This pattern repeats twice more, finishing with fewer Oreos on top. The trifle is refrigerated until set, allowing flavors to blend and the cream to firm up.
This dessert pairs the fudgy richness of brownies, the cool brightness of the mint cream, and the crunchy texture of cookies along with the sweet warmth of hot fudge. It works well for gatherings where an indulgent, chilled layered dessert showcases chocolate and mint together.
Notes suggest using about three-quarters of a 9x13 pan of brownies for balance and offer choices about the amount of mint extract added to the cream. Leftover brownies can be stored or eaten as desired.
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 9X13 pan of brownies cut into small cubes (see note - you only will use about 3/4 of the pan of brownies)
Mint Cream Cheese Whipped Cream:
- 8 ounces cream cheese light or regular, softened
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1-2 teaspoons mint extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Oreos and Hot Fudge:
- 25 Oreos coarsely chopped, mint flavor
- ½ - ¾ cup hot fudge sauce warmed slightly
Instructions
- For the whipped cream, in a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese with about 1/2 cup of the whipping cream until the mixture is smooth. Add the mint extract, powdered sugar and the remainder of the whipping cream gradually. Mix on high speed until the cream is whipped and the mixture is very thick and creamy.
- In a glass trifle dish (or large glass bowl), place in 1/3 of the brownies then 1/3 of the whipped cream, spreading evenly to the edges. Next sprinkle in a little more than 1/3 of the Oreos (about 10 chopped) and finally drizzle with 1/3 of the hot fudge sauce.
- Repeat that same layering process two more times (the only difference is that I only used about 4 chopped Oreos for the very final layer - so the first two layers use about 10 chopped Oreos each).
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use approximately three-quarters of a 9x13-inch pan of brownies to balance layers properly; freeze or save remaining brownies for snacks.
- Mint extract quantity in brownies can be adjusted from 1 to 2 teaspoons depending on desired mint intensity.
- Layer components evenly for consistent flavor and texture in each serving.
- Chill trifle thoroughly before serving to allow layers to set and flavors to meld.
