Description

Indulgent salted dark chocolate brownie trifle brings layers of rich chocolate and creamy textures together in a dessert that promises pure delight. Silky pudding, crumbled brownies, and whipped cream create a luxurious experience you’ll savor with each delectable spoonful.


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

  1. Prepare homemade brownies and allow them to cool completely, then precisely dice into uniform bite-sized cubes.
  2. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks develop and hold their shape.
  3. Select clear glass serving vessels or a large decorative trifle dish for elegant presentation.
  4. Create the initial foundation by gently placing brownie cubes along the bottom of each glass or bowl.
  5. Generously cascade warm melted dark chocolate and rich salted caramel across the brownie layer, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Carefully spread a smooth, thick layer of freshly whipped cream over the chocolate and caramel drizzle.
  7. Repeat the layering sequence: brownie cubes, chocolate and caramel drizzle, followed by another generous cream layer.
  8. Complete the dessert with an artistic final touch by drizzling additional dark chocolate and sprinkling delicate sea salt flakes across the surface.
  9. 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.
