🍨 Heaven in a Bowl: The Irresistible Layered Dessert You’ll Make on Repeat

🧁 Instructions

Bake the Brownies:
Prepare and bake the brownies according to package directions. Once baked, let them cool completely, then cut them into small cubes.
Make the Pudding Mixture:
In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix, milk, and sour cream (or whipped topping) until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to thicken.
Layer the Dessert:
In a large glass trifle bowl (or any deep serving dish), begin layering:
- A layer of brownie cubes
- A generous layer of pudding mixture
- A layer of whipped topping
- A sprinkle of toffee bits
Repeat the layers until you’ve used all your ingredients, finishing with whipped topping and a final sprinkle of toffee bits on top.
Chill Before Serving:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better) to let the flavors blend beautifully.

🥄 History & Inspiration

This dessert was inspired by classic layered trifles from England, where layers of cake, pudding, and cream come together for a stunning presentation. The American twist — using brownies and toffee — takes it to another level of indulgence, making it richer, creamier, and absolutely irresistible.

💡 Tips & Variations

Switch it up: Try chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for a double-chocolate version.
Fruity twist: Add sliced strawberries or raspberries between layers for a fresh touch.
Make it mini: Assemble the layers in small glasses or jars for adorable individual servings.
