I love using these Double Chocolate Brownies for these trifles, but any of these brownie recipes will work great in a brownie trifle.

Homemade Vanilla Pudding, instant pudding from a handy box, or store-bought puddings will all work nicely in this recipe.

Trifles are so versatile, the possibilities are endless here. You can switch up the flavor of pudding, swap in different fruits, drizzle the trifles with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce.

Brownie Trifle Ingredients

  • sliced strawberries
  • sliced bananas
  • brownie chunks
  • vanilla pudding: homemade, from a box, or store-bought
  • whipped cream

Don’t feel like whipping fresh cream? (I do promise it’s EASY.) Feel free to swap in a store-bought whipped cream or cool whip for an even easier option.

Brownie Trifle Recipe

  1. Combine the cream and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed just until the cream is whipped and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix the whipped cream. Set aside.
  2. Layer half of the pudding, whipped cream, bananas, and berries in a large serving dish or individual bowls.
  3. Sprinkle half of the chopped brownies on top and then repeat the layers.
  4. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

For a few more trifle and sundae options, try Cranberry Pecan Brownies with pudding, whipped cream, a drizzle of warm hot fudge, and a sprinkling of pecans.

Chocolate and peanut butter fan? Try layering Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies with a scoop of Chocolate Ice Cream and top it off with sliced bananas.

Berries and chocolate are a forever favorite, so Chocolate Raspberry Brownies plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream or pudding and a generous pour of Berry Sauce? That’s a sure win.

Brownie Trifles - banana split style!

Have you tried a Traditional English Trifle? Cake, fruit, custard, and whipped cream add up to an old-fashioned dessert that we all enjoy.

Chocolate Cherry Almond Brownies plus Cherry Ice Cream or Roasted Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream? Yes, please! Add a dollop of whipped cream and some sliced almonds and I’ll be in heaven.

    As usual I gravitate towards the chocolately dessert choice! I'm also a big fan of any dessert in a glass lately, so comforting!
