Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch brownies (homemade or boxed, baked and cooled)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream (for mousse)
- Optional toppings: chocolate shavings, crushed Oreos, berries, or more brownie crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies according to your favorite recipe or box instructions. Let cool completely and cut into small cubes.
- To make the chocolate mousse: heat 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan until just steaming. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream gently into cooled chocolate mixture until combined. Chill mousse for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, whip remaining 1 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form to make the whipped cream topping.
- To assemble the trifle: Layer brownie chunks in the bottom of a trifle dish or dessert cups, followed by a layer of chocolate mousse, then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers as desired.
- Top with additional whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or other toppings.
- Chill until ready to serve. Best enjoyed within 1–2 days.
Notes
- You can use store-bought brownies or mousse to save time.
- Add raspberries or strawberries between layers for a fruity twist.
- Make in mini dessert glasses for individual servings.
