Here is a trifle I put together last weekend using pieces of different recipes. It turned out delicious, but I advise you to only dip small portions. After pondering a name, "Midnight Delight" seemed suitable. CAUTION: This is VERY rich. Can't say I didn't warn you!
Brownies:
1 family size (13x9) package of brownie mix (check the back of the box for additional ingredients)
1 c. miniature size chocolate chips
Mix brownies according to package directions. Add 1c. chocolate chips and stir. Bake according to package directions and cool completely.
Hint: I substitute coffee for the water on the brownie mix. Coffee always brings out the best in chocolate!
Cream Cheese Fluff:
1 box powdered sugar
1 8oz. package cream cheese (room temperature)
1 10oz. container cool whip (do not use recuced fat or light)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Then add cool whip and vanilla and beat until combined. Set aside.
Fudge Sauce:
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine all ingredients, except the vanilla, in a heavy sauce pan and boil fast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add the vanilla, and beat until creamy. Set aside to cool.
Using a trifle dish (or clear glass dish), layer ingredients in this order: brownies (crumble using hands), cream cheese fluff, fudge sauce; being careful to end with the fudge sauce. The last layer of fudge sauce should be simply drizzled over the top. And you can use 1/4 cup of miniature chocolate chips to sprinkle over the top as a garnish as well.
