Instructions
- For the Brownie Layer:
Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions or make homemade brownies. Once cooled, cut the brownies into bite-sized cubes. - For the Peanut Butter Mousse:
In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until smooth. - For the Chocolate Fudge Sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly. - For the Whipped Cream Layer:
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. - Assemble the Trifle:
In a trifle dish or individual cups, layer brownie cubes, a layer of peanut butter mousse, a drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce, and whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the dish is full, ending with a whipped cream layer. - For Garnish:
Top with mini peanut butter cups, chocolate shavings, or crushed peanuts as desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
