1 box of your preferred brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, replacing water with brewed coffee)
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate shavings or curls for garnish
Optional: toffee bits, chocolate chips, or strawberries/raspberries for added layers
Preparation:
Prepare the brownies as directed on the package, using brewed coffee instead of water. After baking, allow them to cool and then cut them into 1-inch squares.
Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract to stiff peaks, being cautious not to overbeat.
Layer brownie squares at the bottom of a large, clear trifle dish.
Layer half of the pudding over the brownies, followed by a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous amount of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with chocolate shavings and, if desired, additional toppings like toffee bits, chocolate chips, or fruit.
Chill the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving.
