Kitchen Nook- Brownie Strawberry Trifle

I am by no means a pro in the kitchen.  I get freaked out when I see more than 5 or 6 ingredients go into a dish.  I like to keep it simple.  I've never been very experimental either.  When it comes to cooking I usually go by the book.  I just never knew what to experiment with.  I don't understand what herbs and spices go better with what.  Stuff like that.

Ever since I was a little girl though I have always LOVED to bake.  I find it calming (usually).  I still don't know the science of it all, but I do know I love mixing it all together, tasting the dough (or whatever), smelling it as it bakes and eating it fresh out of the oven.  What could be better?

So I thought I would start sharing some of the things we like to eat here at our place every once in a while.  Simple, but yummy things!

So first up I would like to share with you the Brownie Strawberry Trifle.  It's quick.  It's simple.  And most importantly it tastes amazing!


Here is what you will need.

Ingredients
Box of Brownie Mix (and everything the box says you need to make brownies)
Chocolate Pudding
Whipped Cream
Strawberries

First step is to make the brownies according to the box.
While the brownies are baking go ahead and make the pudding and slice up the strawberries.
Let both the brownies and pudding cool.
Once cooled you will start the layering process.
Break the brownie up into bite size pieces.
Layer the bottom of your bowl with some brownie.
Spoon half your pudding mix over the brownie bites and half the whipped cream over that.
Stick some strawberries around the side.
REPEAT!
This time after you place the whipped cream over the pudding decorate the top with more strawberries and brownie crumbs.  You could drizzle some chocolate syrup on top.  Whatever you heart desires!

Here is what it will look like from the side. (Please excuse the messy background)


And there you have it!  This dish fed 13 people dessert one night!  Everyone really seemed to like it.  And the great thing was it took me no time at all!

  1. AJ, You've loved baking since you were only 3 years old. You started with gingerbread. You loved tasting the batter back then too!
