Description
Celebrate the luck of the Irish with this indulgent St. Patrick’s Day Brownie Trifle, layered with rich brownie cubes, creamy mint‑infused pudding, and fluffy green whipped topping. Perfect for a festive dessert that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package brownie mix (enough to make an 8×8 tray)
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- A few drops of green food coloring
- 1 cup mint Oreos, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions and bake in an 8×8 pan; let cool and cut into 1‑inch cubes.
- In a bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding with the recommended amount of milk, then fold in the thawed Cool Whip until smooth.
- Stir in a few drops of green food coloring to give the pudding mixture a festive hue.
- Layer half of the brownie cubes in a large trifle bowl or individual glasses.
- Spread half of the mint‑green pudding mixture over the brownie layer.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of crushed mint Oreos on top.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining brownie cubes and pudding.
- Finish with a final sprinkle of crushed Oreos and a few extra green food‑color‑tinted whipped topping swirls for visual flair.
Notes
Tip: For a dairy‑free version, substitute the brownie mix with a gluten‑free brownie mix and use coconut‑based whipped topping. You can also add a splash of Irish cream liqueur to the pudding for an adult twist. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the dessert may soften slightly, so add a fresh sprinkle of crushed Oreos before serving.
