Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish according to the instructions on the brownie mix box, typically by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box. This usually involves combining the brownie mix with water, oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- While the brownies are cooling, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Set them aside in a bowl.
- Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into bite-sized squares. You can use a knife or a spatula to gently lift them from the baking dish.
- In a large trifle dish or individual serving cups, begin layering your trifle. Start with a layer of brownie squares at the bottom.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries over the brownie layer, distributing them evenly.
- Next, add a layer of whipped cream over the strawberries, smoothing it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining brownie squares, strawberries, and whipped cream until you reach the top of the dish. Aim for at least two or three layers, depending on the height of your dish.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top layer of whipped cream for added flavor and decoration.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When ready to serve, you can garnish with additional sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your Easy Strawberry Brownie Trifle!
Tips
- For the most indulgent experience, use a high-quality brownie mix or make brownies from scratch for an extra-rich base.
- Ensure your brownies are completely cooled before layering to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
- For the freshest flavor, slice strawberries just before assembling the trifle to prevent them from becoming too watery.
- If you want a more stable whipped cream, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract while whipping.
- For a professional presentation, use a clear glass trifle dish or individual parfait glasses to showcase the beautiful layers.
- Chill the trifle for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
- For a gourmet touch, consider adding a light sprinkle of chocolate shavings or fresh mint leaves as a final garnish.
