LAYERED CHOCOLATE BROWNIE PUDDING TRIFLE
This is a chocolate-lover's dream dessert! If you don't have a trifle dish then use a large glass bowl, I use my recipe#87925 for this, use your own favorite brownie recipe but must be baked in a 13 x 9-inch pan or use a packaged brownie mix. Plan ahead the brownies must be baked and refrigerated until completely cold before slicing, I advise to make the brownies a day in advance. Prep time does not include making the brownies. You can use all chocolate pudding if desired.

Tips for Making the Best Layered Brownie Dessert:
- Opt for high-quality chocolate - this will significantly enhance the flavor of your dessert. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of around 60-70% is an excellent choice. - Ensure your butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will result in a smooth and fluffy mixture. - Don't overmix the brownie batter - this can lead to a dense and chewy texture. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. - Use a large baking dish for even cooking - a 9x13 inch pan is ideal. - Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry brownies. - Allow the brownies to cool completely before assembling the dessert - this will make it easier to handle and layer. - Use a variety of toppings to add texture and flavor to your dessert. Some popular options include chopped nuts, chocolate chips, caramel sauce, and whipped cream.Conclusion:
The layered brownie dessert is a decadent and crowd-pleasing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy cheesecake filling, and variety of toppings, it is sure to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. By following these tips, you can create a layered brownie dessert that is both delicious and visually stunning. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in this delightful dessert!
