Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie mix (or homemade brownies)
- 2 large Eggs (for brownie mix, if needed)
- 0.33 cup Oil (for brownie mix, if needed)
- 3 tablespoons Water (for brownie mix, if needed)
- 1.5 pounds Fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Chocolate sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box or your homemade recipe, typically 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, using the eggs, oil, and water. Alternatively, prepare your homemade brownie batter.
Bake the brownies in a 9x13 inch pan for the time suggested on the box or recipe, usually 20-25 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness (it should come out with a few moist crumbs). Let the brownies cool completely.
While the brownies are cooling, hull and slice the strawberries. Sprinkle them with granulated sugar, toss gently, and set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form (do not overwhip).
Once the brownies are cool, cut them into bite-sized squares or crumble them into small chunks, depending on your preferred texture.
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the dessert. Start with a layer of brownie pieces, followed by a layer of strawberries (including the syrup they released), then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat these layers until the dish is full, finishing with whipped cream on top.
For an optional garnish, drizzle chocolate sauce over the top layer and add a whole strawberry or a few brownie crumbles.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
