Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 1 batch brownies, baked and cubed
Cream and Sweeteners:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (80 grams) salted caramel sauce
Chocolate and Garnish:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) dark chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Prepare homemade brownies and allow them to cool completely, then precisely dice into uniform bite-sized cubes.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks develop and hold their shape.
- Select clear glass serving vessels or a large decorative trifle dish for elegant presentation.
- Create the initial foundation by gently placing brownie cubes along the bottom of each glass or bowl.
- Generously cascade warm melted dark chocolate and rich salted caramel across the brownie layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully spread a smooth, thick layer of freshly whipped cream over the chocolate and caramel drizzle.
- Repeat the layering sequence: brownie cubes, chocolate and caramel drizzle, followed by another generous cream layer.
- Complete the dessert with an artistic final touch by drizzling additional dark chocolate and sprinkling delicate sea salt flakes across the surface.
- Refrigerate the trifle for 30-45 minutes at 40°F to allow flavors to harmonize and texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Transform brownies into bite-sized cubes for easier layering and more even texture distribution.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth whipped cream with perfect soft peaks.
- Experiment with gluten-free brownies or dairy-free whipped cream alternatives for dietary restrictions.
- Create make-ahead potential by preparing components separately and assembling just before serving to maintain optimal texture and freshness.
