For my last birthday, my mom got me this glass triffle bowl that is perfect for making layered desserts, salads, or dips. This past weekend was my friend Tiff's birthday, so I decided to make her a triffle to bring to her wine party she was having. I just searched Kraft's website and found this awesome & easy recipe. I read all the reviews and everyone raved about how easy it was and what a great presentation it was for bringing to parties. I made a few alterations: instead of raspberries I used strawberries, and I added two additional layers to the triffle because while picking up some cool whip I spotted the new Cool Whip Dips (pictured below) in strawberry and chocolate flavor that I hadn't seen before. I figured they would make great extra layers! (the chocolate one is realllly good!) I will be making thing again! For one, I love brownies and number two, it looks really impressive as if it took a lot of work, but is really simple!
Btw, it was a hit at the party:)
Ingredients:
1 brownie mix box (+ eggs, water, oil to make brownies--I used applesauce in place of oil)
2 pkgs instant chocolate pudding mix (used sugar free/fat free)
1 c skim milk
1 c cool whip
Sliced strawberries
Strawberry & chocolate Cool Whip Dips (optional)
Directions:
1. Bake brownies according to directions.
2. Cut brownies into 1 inch squares.
3. Add milk to 2 pkgs of chocolate pudding mix. Whisk for 2 minutes or until set.
4. Mix in 1 cup Cool Whip.
6. Place 1/2 of brownie pieces in bottom of trifle bowl.
7. Spoon 1/2 of pudding mixture onto brownies.
8. Layer 1/2 of strawberries on top of pudding.
9. This is wear I then did the Strawberry Dips layer (using almost the entire container, but saved about 1/3 cup to put on the very top, center).
10. Then I placed the rest of the brownies on top of the Strawberry Dip layer.
11. Layer of Chocolate Dips layer
12. Rest of pudding
13. Rest of strawberries around the remaining Strawberry Dip. (As you can see in the picture, I kept a few pieces of brownie out to put on top).
You can really layer this triffle any way you'd like! Enjoy!
Very nice! I like how you put the strawberries around the top edge. Trifles are pretty darn easy and yet so good!
