Dark Chocolate Brownie and Cream Trifle
This decadent trifle is layers of dark chocolate whipped cream, dark chocolate brownies, strawberries, and Oreos.
Servings: 6 Trifle Jars
Ingredients
Brownies
- Boxed Mix or homemade, baked and cut into small squares (there will probably be leftover brownies)
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp Dark Chocolate cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
- pinch of salt, a small pinch of salt enhances the chocolate flavor
- 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional--espresso powder also enhances the chocolate flavor)
Other
- Crushed Oreos, I used the berry-filled, about 2 per glass (I used small mason jars)
- Strawberries, sliced
- Dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
- With a mixer, beat the heavy cream on med-high speed until it begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes depending upon the power of your mixer.
- Turn the mixer off and add in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and espresso powder.
- Turn the mixer back on, and beat on med-high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks and has the consistency of whipped cream, about 2-3 more minutes.
- To assemble the trifles, begin with a layer of crushed Oreos on the bottom of the glass. Top the Oreos with a layer of whipped cream. On top of the whipped cream, place a layer of brownie pieces. Add sliced strawberries on top of the brownies. Repeat the process (Oreos, whipped cream, brownies, strawberries, and a final layer of Oreos). Finish the trifles with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Once you have finished assembling all of the trifles, use a potato peeler to shave dark chocolate onto the top of each trifle.
- Enjoy!
