Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (18.3 ounce) plus ingredients (eggs, water, oil or butter)
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream divided
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened (2 blocks)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Layers and Garnishes
- ¾ cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 5 mini twix or favorite candies or chocolates
Instructions
- Make the brownies according to the directions. In a 9x13 baking dish, the brownies will take 25 minutes to bake and 60 minutes to completely cool. Allow the brownies to cool completely. Cut into 2-3 inch cubes. Keep 1 ½ cups of brownie cubes set aside for the topping.
- Make Cocoa Whipped Cream: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa. Using a whisk attachment or electric hand mixer beat for 3-4 minutes or until you have stiff peaks, scraping the bowl with a spatula halfway through. Set aside.
- Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate large bowl, add the cream cheese, ½ cup heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. With a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix for 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly mixed, scraping the bowl with a spatula halfway through.
- Add the cocoa whipped cream to the cheese mixture. With a spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Fold until most of the streaks are gone.
- LAYERS: In your trifle bowl layer in this order:1/3 of the brownies 3 tablespoons caramel 1/3 cup of the cheesecake filling Repeat this 3 times.
- Top with the reserved 1 ½ cups of brownies and 3 more tablespoons of caramel.
- Top with your favorite chocolates.
Notes
- Pretty Layers– For clean and even layers, carefully add the ingredients using a rubber spatula or- even better- add the cheesecake filling to a piping bag and swirl from the inside out to form a perfectly even and presentable layer each time. No matter how you choose to do it, the key is to be gentle, so you don’t smush the layers into one another.
- Fluffy Whipped Cream– For the perfect silky-smooth texture, don’t overmix the whipped cream and the cheesecake mixture.
- Soften Ingredients– To make mixing easier, have the ingredients at room temperature before beginning, like the cream cheese.
- Smaller Brownie Bites– If preferred, cut the brownies into 1-inch or 1 ½-inch squares instead for mini bites.
