Chocolate Kahlua Trifle

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. (35 minutes)

Recipe View Once cooled, use a chopstick or the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the brownies, about 1/2-inch apart. Drizzle the coffee liqueur evenly over the brownies, allowing it to soak in for at least 5 minutes. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes to set. (7 minutes)

Recipe View To assemble the trifle, cut the brownies into small cubes. In a glass trifle bowl, layer 1/3 of the brownie cubes, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, and then a layer of whipped topping. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a generous layer of whipped topping. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the trifle and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. (240 minutes)
