Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box mix Brownies or chocolate cake Bake it according to the box. We often use simple chocolate cake because it is lighter. But brownies are amazing too! Cut these into small 1 inch squares
- 1 batch of my cool whip and pudding filling
- 1 lb Strawberries Cleaned and quartered
- 1 batch chocolate sauce You can buy any sauce you prefer or make my easy 2 ingredient chocolate sauce.
- 1 Chocolate bar for garnish
Instructions
- This trifle is easy to make. Start by baking your brownies or chocolate cake. You can choose which one you prefer. Sometimes I like to use brownies and sometimes chocolate cake.
- Let the cake/brownies cool and cut into pieces
- While the cake is cooling whip up a batch of my cool whip and pudding frosting. You can also use whipped cream or your favorite custard. I like to use my pudding cool whip frosting because you can easily change the flavor depending on the pudding you use. I use cheesecake instant pudding mix.
- Clean and quarter your strawberries.
- Make a simple 2 ingredient chocolate sauce or use a store bought one of your choice.
- Gather your container or containers. I like to make individual trifles when making it for my family. You can also make this in a large glass container for a party.
- Start by adding a layer of brownies or chocolate cake.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top of the cake or brownies.
- Add a layer of strawberries
- Then add a layer of the pudding cool whip filling.
- Repeat this step until you have used your ingredients or have it as full as you want. I like to do two layers of each, finishing off with a top layer of the pudding mixture.
- Just to make it prettier, I use a cheese grater and grate some chocolate shavings onto the top and then garnish it with some strawberries.
- Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour prior to eating.
