Directions

tep 1: Prepare the Brownies

Bake brownies according to package or recipe instructions. Let cool completely, then cut into bite-sized cubes.

Step 2: Make the Mint Cream Layer

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until stiff peaks form.

Add a few drops of green food coloring (if desired) and gently fold to create a light green tint.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding

In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2–3 minutes). Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set further.

Step 4: Assemble the Trifle

In a large trifle dish (or individual glasses), start with a layer of brownie cubes on the bottom.

Add a layer of chocolate pudding over the brownies.

Spoon the mint whipped cream on top of the pudding layer.

Repeat the layers—brownies, pudding, and mint cream—until the dish is full, finishing with a dollop of mint cream on top.

Step 5: Make the Whipped Cream Topping

In a clean mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the top layer of the trifle.

Step 6: Garnish & Chill

Sprinkle crushed cookies, chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or mini chocolate coins on top for decoration.

Chill the trifle in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
