Berry Brownie Trifle

Berry Brownie Trifle

Happy Valentine’s Day! We like Valentine’s Day, but we keep the holiday simple. We usually make a special meal at home, which of course includes dessert. This year we are celebrating the day of love with a Berry Brownie Trifle.

We used our favorite King Arthur Flour fudge brownies for the base of our trifle.  We layered brownies, mixed berries, raspberry jam, and whipped cream to create this decadent trifle. We topped the dessert off with extra berries and chocolate shavings. I love making trifles because they are easy to make, but stunning to serve.

We made one individual trifle to share, I know, we are so romantic, but feel free to make a large one to serve a crowd. If you are looking for a special dessert to serve to your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day, make a Berry Brownie Trifle. You will for sure earn brownie points:)

Don’t forget about our Tanga magazine deals and our $200 gift card giveaway to Williams Sonoma! Visit this post for details.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

    You know I’m not a huge fan of trifle but I think if I put brownies in it, I’ve have a totally different opinion! Looks wonderful.

    This is what I love about ur recipes Maria, everytime I look at them and go, “oh that’s so simple n I guess I have everything needed in my pantry!!”
    That’s another one of your easy and decadent recipes and the more berries n chocolates for dessert the better!

    I’m planning on making a treat where I cut out little pieces of chocolate pound cake and was wondering what to do with the scaps (besides snack on them). Trifle! Why didn’t I think of that? Hope you guys had a good Valentine’s Day.

    How can anyone not love this? This looks wonderful! It’s so simple, pretty and looks delicious! What kind of jam do you use ? Do you use sugar-free ones?

    Made 50 of these little beauties last night for a church group. They were a huge hit! (I also added some hot fudge to the layers. Can’t have too much chocolate, I say!)

      I love the hot fudge idea! Glad they were a hit!

    Man! Love it! I sometimes serve Ree’s baked fudge with berries and cream in the summer, but not layered.
