Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownies)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup fudge sauce
Dairy Ingredients:
- 2 cups whipped cream
Garnish:
- 4–6 peanut butter cups (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare brownies following either package guidelines or a traditional homemade method, ensuring a rich chocolate base. Allow brownies to cool completely, then meticulously slice into uniform bite-sized cubes.
- Select a transparent glass trifle vessel to showcase the beautiful layered dessert architecture.
- Commence assembling by creating an initial foundation of brownie pieces, strategically positioning them to cover the bottom surface.
- Drizzle a generous cascade of smooth peanut butter across the brownie layer, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor in each spoonful.
- Introduce a luxurious layer of decadent fudge sauce, spreading it carefully to create a glossy chocolate barrier between brownie and cream elements.
- Craft a pillowy layer of whipped cream, gently spreading it to completely cover the previous chocolate and peanut butter strata.
- Repeat the layering sequence – brownies, peanut butter, fudge sauce, and whipped cream – building height and visual intrigue with each progressive tier.
- As the final flourish, crown the dessert with crumbled peanut butter cups and an additional artful drizzle of fudge sauce.
- Refrigerate the assembled trifle for a minimum of two hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and structure to set perfectly.
- Remove from refrigeration shortly before serving to ensure optimal texture and temperature.
Notes
- Choose high-quality brownies or make from scratch for richer flavor and better texture.
- Experiment with different brownie varieties like dark chocolate or salted caramel for unique taste profiles.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth and creamy layers when assembling the trifle.
- Crush peanut butter cups just before serving to maintain their crunch and prevent soggy texture.
