Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pan prepared brownies crumbled (I share a link to my favorite brownie recipe below)
  • 3 tablespoons Kahlua optional
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3.9-ounce packages chocolate instant pudding
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 package toffee bits sold in the baking aisle

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle the Kahlua over the crumbled brownies. Set aside.
  • Beat the whipped cream, granulated sugar and vanilla at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the pudding and the milk. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer at medium-high speed until smooth.
  • In a trifle bowl or other large bowl, spread a layer of 1/3 of the crumbled brownies. Sprinkle layer generously with 2-3 tablespoons toffee bits. Spread with 1/3 of the pudding and then 1/3 of the whipped cream. Repeat these layers twice more, sprinkling the top generously with toffee bits. Garnish with fresh berries, if desired. Chill for 2-3 hours before serving.

Notes

Use store-bought brownies to make this recipe even easier to prepare.
Each and every time I prepare this dessert, my family declares it to be their all-time favorite. 🙂 This is perfect for taking to gatherings, since it makes such a pretty presentation!

I love topping everything off with fresh raspberries for a bright pop of flavor. Strawberries and blueberries are delicious, too!
