Directions
-
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely. This step is tremendous as it ensures that the brownies are easy to cut without crumbling.
-
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. This process creates the creamy filling that contrasts perfectly with the brownie base.
-
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This step adds a delightful lightness to the filling, making it even more sumptuous.
-
Once the brownies are completely cool, cut them into bite-sized squares. These brownie cubes are the foundation of your trifle, so ensure they are uniform for even layering.
-
In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, start layering by placing half of the brownie squares at the bottom. Follow this with half of the cream cheese mixture and drizzle with caramel sauce. The tremendous contrast between the creamy filling and the fudgy brownies makes for an extraordinary combination.
-
Repeat the layers, finishing with the cream cheese mixture on top. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top before serving. Allow the trifle to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a truly memorable dessert.
