Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
-
Fudgy Brownies: Use your favorite homemade or boxed brownies; they should be moist and rich to balance the creaminess.
-
Fresh Strawberries: Choose ripe strawberries for their sweet flavor and vibrant color; hulled and sliced are best for layering.
-
Whipped Cream: Lightly sweetened whipped cream adds a fluffy texture; homemade is preferred for freshness.
-
Chocolate Sauce: Drizzle this on top for an extra touch of decadence; store-bought works well if you’re short on time.
-
Mint Leaves (optional): Fresh mint adds a refreshing pop of color and flavor that elevates the dessert’s appeal.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Brownies: Start by baking brownies according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Allow them to cool completely before cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Wash and Slice Strawberries: Rinse your fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull them using a small knife or huller, then slice them into thin rounds for easy layering.
Whip Your Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. You want it fluffy but stable enough to hold its shape when layered.
Layering Time!: In a large glass trifle bowl or individual cups, start by placing a layer of brownie pieces at the bottom. Follow with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
Add More Layers: Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with whipped cream on top. Drizzle chocolate sauce over everything as the final touch.
Chill Before Serving: Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows flavors to meld beautifully together!
