Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie Trifle
Description
This trifle starts with cubed brownies forming a dense, chewy base layer. Prepared chocolate pudding adds a smooth, silky component, while a peanut butter mixture—blended with cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and folded with whipped heavy cream—provides a light but rich filling. Sprinkled chopped peanut butter cups introduce bites of chocolate and peanut butter candy throughout the layers. Whipped cream appears both in the filling and as a topping, lending airiness and a delicate balance to the dense brownies and creamy pudding.
The dessert is assembled in layers, allowing flavors and textures to meld as it chills. This trifle suits those who enjoy peanut butter and chocolate combinations in a dessert that can be made ahead and served cold. Its components provide a pleasing interplay between creamy, fudgy, and crunchy elements.
Ingredients
- 1 batch of your favorite brownies, boxed or from scratch, cooled and cut into cubes
- 1 large box, 5-ounce of instant chocolate pudding, prepared and chilled (this will most likely call for 3 cups of milk, nothing else)
- 1 peanut butter cups chopped (I used Dove chocolate peanut butter Promises, bag
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar depending on your desired level of sweetness
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature, whipped
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat heavy cream and sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to an separate bowl and stick in the fridge until ready to use. I did not even clean the bowl of my electric mixer and just began mixing the peanut butter mixture.
- Add the peanut butter and cream cheese to the bowl and beat at medium speed, scraping down the sides a few times until mixture is creamy. Add in powdered sugar and mix until combined, then mix in 2 tablespoons of milk. Remove the whipped cream from the fridge and add 1 cup of it to the peanut butter, folding it in until the mixture turns lighter in color and is mostly combined.
- Grab your trifle dish and begin to layer your ingredients however you’d like. I did a layer of brownies, then peanut butter, then a handful of chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and so on. I repeated it until I got to the top, then piped the remaining whipped cream on top and sprinkled the candy on. You really can’t go wrong with layering – just use a long spoon to serve!
