Description

This pretty chocolate trifle with layers of fudgy brownies, rich and creamy chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped topping is chilled to perfection.

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package brownie mix
1 large egg
3/4 cup water, divided
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (3 9/10 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (1 1/2 ounce) bar chocolate candy

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square glass baking pan.
3 Combine brownie mix, egg, 1/4 cup water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Stir until well-blended, about 50 strokes. Spread into the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted 1 inch in from the edges comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 mintues.
5 Cut cooled brownies into 1-inch squares and set aside.
6 Combine condensed milk, remaining 1/2 cup water, and pudding mix in a large bowl; mix until smooth. Fold in 8 ounces whipped topping until no streaks remain.
7 Place 1/2 of the brownies in a trifle bowl or glass serving dish. Top with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then 1/2 of the 12-ounce container of whipped topping. Repeat layers. Shave chocolate on top for garnish.
8 Refrigerate 8 hours before serving.
