Ingredients

  • 1 18.3 oz box brownie mix also ingredients required on box to bake brownies
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup creamy cookie butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the brownies according to the package directions. Let them cool completely before their next step.
    1 18.3 oz box brownie mix
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the whipping cream, cookie butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Using the whisk attachment, mix on high until everything’s evenly incorporated and the whipping cream has thickened into a mousse-like texture, about 2-3 minutes.
    2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 cup creamy cookie butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Crumble the cooled brownies over and into a bowl. To the bottom of 3 small trifle bowls or glasses, add a hearty layer of crumbled brownie pieces.
  • Spoon a layer of cookie butter mousse over top of the crumbled brownies and use the back of the spoon to lightly spread it out evenly. Repeat one-two more times, as needed, and top with more crumbled brownie pieces.
  • Serve immediately, or chill until ready, and allow them to sit at room temperature a solid 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use any brownie mix you like but I recommend any variety that has added chocolate chips in.
  • You can make one big brownie trifle instead of several smaller ones using a large trifle dish.
  • Make sure the brownies are cool before you build the trifles. If they are warm, the cookie butter mousse will melt.
  • For an extra treat top them with whipped cream prior to serving!
