For this Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Trifle, you will need 1 batch of your favorite brownie recipe or store-bought brownies. Opt for fudgy brownies to provide a rich base for the trifle. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for easy layering.

Peanut Butter

You will need 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Choose a high-quality brand to ensure the best flavor. The peanut butter adds richness and depth to the trifle layers.

Prepare 2 cups of heavy whipping cream to create the light and airy layer in your trifle. Whip until stiff peaks form for a fluffy texture that complements the dense brownies.

Instructions

Prepare the Brownies

Begin by baking your brownies according to package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe. Allow them to cool completely before cutting them into small squares. This step is crucial as warm brownies can become mushy when layered.

Make the Whipped Cream

In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add in powdered sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks appear. This creates a light texture that contrasts beautifully with dense brownies.

Mix Peanut Butter Layer

In another bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter with half of the prepared whipped cream. Stir gently until well combined, creating a smooth mixture that will serve as one of your main layers in the trifle.

Assemble the Trifle Layers

Start layering your ingredients in a large glass bowl or individual cups. Begin with a layer of brownie pieces at the bottom. Follow this with a layer of the peanut butter mixture and then add some whipped cream on top. Repeat these layers until you’ve used all ingredients, finishing with whipped cream on top.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top layer of whipped cream for decoration and added crunch. You can also add chopped peanuts or additional brownie bits if desired for extra texture and flavor.
