Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- Ingredients required for brownie mix
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup crushed cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Typically, this involves mixing the dry brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. This typically takes about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into small, bite-sized cubes.
- In a separate bowl, warm the cookie butter slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more spreadable.
- Prepare the whipped cream by whipping heavy cream until stiff peaks form. If using store-bought whipped cream, ensure it's well-chilled.
- In clear glass serving dishes or mason jars, begin layering the trifle. Start with a layer of brownie cubes at the bottom.
- Drizzle warm cookie butter over the brownie layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the cookie butter.
- Sprinkle crushed cookies over the whipped cream layer for added texture and flavor.
- Repeat the layering process 2-3 times, ending with a final topping of whipped cream and crushed cookies.
- Refrigerate the trifles for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your decadent Cookie Butter Brownie Trifles!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your brownies are completely cooled before cubing to prevent them from falling apart during layering.
- Cookie Butter Hack: Warm the cookie butter briefly in the microwave to make it more drizzle-friendly, but don't overheat.
- Whipped Cream Perfection: For the fluffiest whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand.
- Presentation is Key: Use clear glasses or mason jars to showcase the beautiful layers of your trifle.
- Make Ahead: These trifles can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making them perfect for dinner parties or special occasions.
- Customize Your Crunch: Experiment with different cookie types for the topping - graham crackers, Biscoff, or chocolate cookies all work wonderfully.
- Serve Chilled: Always refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and textures to set perfectly.
