Oh. My. Gawd.
I have no words.
Okay, I have a lot of words. This is THE BEST dessert I’ve ever tasted. Ever.
I’m pretty easy when it comes to dessert. I like things simple. I’m not all about the fancy desserts. I like good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies, plain chocolate cake, a scoop of chocolate ice cream…You get the idea. And yes, chocolate only please.
I don’t know what it is about this dessert that is so insanely delicious and satisfying, but please, PLEASE trust me on this one. It’s better than you can possibly imagine.
Layers upon layers of chocolate pudding, brownies, cookies, and homemade whipped cream! It’s a giant bowl of chocolate mush that I would love to dive head first into. And, it’s super easy to make. AND, it’s even better to make it a day ahead!
Once you have all the separate parts, just start layering.
And layering.
And don’t you dare stop until that bowl is busting at the seams with chocolatey goodness.
Top it off with some extra crumbled cookies and brownies. Go ahead.
Then?
Dig in.
- 1 batch of your favorite brownies (I use Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate boxed brownies)
- 1 batch of your favorite chocolate chip cookies (I used Nestle Break & Bake Cookies)
- 2 large boxes of Jello Instant Pudding Mix
- 1 small box of Jello Instant Pudding Mix
- 6 cups whole milk
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1) Using the directions on the box or using your favorite recipe, make and bake the brownies and cookies. Let cool completely. (Can do this step the day before)
- 2) Prepare the pudding. Pour the powdered pudding mix into a large bowl and whisk in 6 cups of milk until thick.
- 3) In the trifle bowl begin to layer ingredients. Start with 1/4 of the broken up brownies, then a layer of pudding, a layer of whipped cream, and a layer of crumbled cookies. Repeat layers until trifle dish is full and top it off with extra crumbled brownies and cookies.
- 4) Put in the fridge and serve chilled.
- * I fell in love with this recipe from a friend who brought it to a party. She uses cool whip instead of whipped cream, and Kit Kat instead of the chocolate chip cookies. It's another easy and delicious alternative! However, the possibilities are endless!
- * I like to make this dish in advance and put it in the fridge overnight. It's even better the next day!
Face first.
