Equipment
- 2 Mixing Bowls
- 1 9 x 13 baking pan
- 1 Stand Mixer
- 1 Trifle Bowl
- 2 Rubber Spatulas
Ingredients
- 1 20 oz. box dark chocolate brownie mix
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 5.9 oz. box instant chocolate pudding
- 3 cups milk (2 cups if using almond milk)
- 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 14.3 oz. pkg Oreo cookies
- 1/8 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions using the egg, oil and water. Spread the batter into the pan and bake 18 to 22 minutes. Set aside and let cool the brownies completely.
- Prepare the pudding according to package directions using the milk. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed in a mixer with a whisk attachment until smooth and fluffy...aboutg 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat 1 to 2 minutes or until the cream is whipped and well combined with the cream cheese.
- Fold about 1 cup of the cream mixture into the pudding.
- Cut the brownies into small pieces about 1 inch by 1 inch. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a large zip-up bag and coarsely crush the cookies using a rolling pin.
- Arrange half of the brownies in an even layer in a 4-quart trifle dish. Layer with half of the chocolate pudding, half of the cookie pieces and half of the remaining whipped cream cheese. Repeat the layers one more time. Let sit in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and let the flavors meld.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the trifle and eat within 48 hours of making. Serve and enjoy!
