Insane Trifle

Insane Trifle 1 batch of your favorite brownies (right out of the box is fine!) 1 large box of chocolate pudding, prepared per package directions (you’ll probably need 2-3 cups of milk) 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, very cold 1-3 TBSP sugar (depending on how sweet you like it) 8oz cream cheese, softened 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 cup confectioners sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 bag of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, chopped up Prepare the brownies and the pudding per the directions on the boxes. Allow both of these things to cool and chill completely. Cut the brownies into small bite-size pieces. In a cold metal bowl with a wire whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. (I do not add any sugar to my whipped cream because I think the rest of the dessert is sweet enough, but most people will prefer at least 1 TBSP) Set the whipped cream aside in the fridge until assembly. In a separate bowl (or the same bowl if you move the whipped cream to another bowl), beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and confectioners sugar until it is light, fluffy, and mousse-like. Have all of your ingredients ready for assembly. In a large trifle bowl or a 9×5” clear pan or paper-lined muffin tins, build your trifle dessert. You can layer however you’d like. I do a layer of brownies, a layer of peanut butter mousse, some peanut-butter cups, a layer of chocolate pudding, and a layer of whipped cream. If you are doing this in a trifle bowl or larger pan, continue layering until you reach the top. Finish with whipped cream and top with peanut butter cups for garnish. If you are making mini-trifles in muffin tins, you will not need to build a second round of layers. Chill or serve immediately with a very large spoon. And prepare to make lots of friends.
