Dark Chocolate Brownie and Cream Trifle

Ingredients

• Boxed Mix or homemade, baked and cut into small squares (there will probably be leftover brownies)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp Dark Chocolate cocoa powder
• 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
• pinch of salt, a small pinch of salt enhances the chocolate flavor
• 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional--espresso powder also enhances the chocolate flavor)
• Crushed Oreos, I used the berry-filled, about 2 per glass (I used small mason jars)
• Strawberries, sliced
• Dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. 1

   With a mixer, beat the heavy cream on med-high speed until it begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes depending upon the power of your mixer.

2. 2

   Turn the mixer off and add in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and espresso powder.

3. 3

   Turn the mixer back on, and beat on med-high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks and has the consistency of whipped cream, about 2-3 more minutes.

4. 4

   To assemble the trifles, begin with a layer of crushed Oreos on the bottom of the glass. Top the Oreos with a layer of whipped cream. On top of the whipped cream, place a layer of brownie pieces. Add sliced strawberries on top of the brownies. Repeat the process (Oreos, whipped cream, brownies, strawberries, and a final layer of Oreos). Finish the trifles with a dollop of whipped cream.

5. 5

   Once you have finished assembling all of the trifles, use a potato peeler to shave dark chocolate onto the top of each trifle.
