Time 2h47m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18.25 ounce) package brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
⅔ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
¼ cup water
1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix (such as Pillsbury ® Moist Supreme®)
1 cup water
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
4 cups milk
1 (16 ounce) jar peanut butter
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
2 (8 ounce) containers whipped topping
12 chocolate-covered peanut butter cups (such as Reese's®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13-inch baking pan and two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Combine brownie mix, 2/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until well-blended, about 3 minutes. Pour into 9x13-inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake brownies in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached, 28 to 31 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cut into bite-size pieces.
  • Combine cake mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and 1/3 cup oil in another large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended, about 2 minutes. Divide batter between 9-inch round cake pans, smoothing tops.
  • Bake cakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 29 to 33 minutes. Cool in the pans, 10 to 15 minutes, before transferring to wire racks to cool completely, about 20 minutes more. Crumble cakes into large crumbs.
  • Beat milk, peanut butter, and pudding mix together with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended, about 2 minutes. Let sit until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Place 1/3 of the brownie pieces in the bottom of a large trifle or punch bowl. Top with 1/3 of the cake crumbs, 1/3 of the pudding, and 1/3 of the whipped topping. Continue layering remaining brownie pieces, cake crumbs, pudding, and whipped topping, ending with whipped topping.
  • Cut each chocolate-covered peanut butter cup into thirds so that you have long strips. Decorate sides and top of the trifle with chocolate strips.

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE TRIFLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by moddie2bert

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (9x13") pan baked brownies, cut into 1-inch pieces*
1 large (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup whipping cream, whipped and divided**
40 bite-sized or 24 regular Reese's peanut butter cups

Steps:

  • Beat pudding mix and milk until thickened. Add peanut butter and vanilla, then mix until combined. Fold in 1 cup whipped cream. Place half of brownies in bottom of trifle dish. Sprinkle with 16 coarsely chopped bite-sized Reese's cups. Spread half of pudding mixture on top. Repeat layers. Top with last cup of whipped cream and remaining 8 bite-sized Reese's cups for garnish. Chill at least 6 hours before serving. *Option: Add a 10-ounce bag of peanut butter baking chips to brownie batter. **Homemade whipped cream: with an electric mixer, beat cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality peanut butter. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the trifle.
  • Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before assembling the trifle. Otherwise, they will be too soft and will fall apart.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. It should be stiff but not too thick.
  • Be careful not to overfill the trifle glasses. You want to leave enough room for the whipped cream and the peanuts.
  • If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can use a large glass bowl or even a trifle jar.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of rich chocolate brownies, creamy peanut butter mousse, and fluffy whipped cream, this trifle is sure to be a hit. It's also a great way to use up leftover brownies.

Here are some additional tips for making Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle:

  • For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use dark chocolate brownies.
  • If you don't have peanut butter mousse, you can use store-bought whipped cream instead.
  • To make the trifle even more decadent, add a layer of chocolate ganache between the brownies and the peanut butter mousse.
  • You can also decorate the trifle with chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.

No matter how you choose to make it, Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
