Chocolate Trifle Bowl (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup smooth peanut butter.
02 -
2 boxes (18 oz each) double chocolate brownie mix, baked.
03 -
3 cups cold heavy cream.
04 -
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, split.
05 -
8 ounces softened cream cheese.
06 -
1 package (5.1 oz) vanilla pudding (instant).
07 -
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
08 -
3 packages (7.6 oz each) small peanut butter cups, chopped.
09 -
3 cups whole milk.
# Instructions:
01 -
Whip cold heavy cream until it holds shape (soft peaks). Mix in powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue whipping until peaks are firm. Put in fridge for later.
02 -
Blend peanut butter with cream cheese until smooth. Add milk, pudding mix, and the rest of the salt. Beat until creamy. Gently mix in most of the whipped cream but keep 2 cups separate for topping.
03 -
Break the brownies into chunks, leaving 1/2 cup aside for garnish. Start layering in a clear trifle bowl: 1 1/3 cups brownie chunks, 1 cup peanut butter cups, then 2 cups pudding. Stack layers like this again. Spread whipped cream on top, then finish with reserved brownie pieces and candy.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make this up to 12 hours early. Store in the fridge. For smooth pudding, make sure the cream cheese is softened. A clear trifle bowl shows off the layers nicely.
