Over the years as I've made various desserts for family gatherings he has found several others than have been awarded the distinction of heavenly delight 2.0 or other versions of the title.
I believe the second was my chocolate chip pound cake which is high on the list of most requested desserts in my family. After that came a few others here and there. I think we've lost track of the numbering system at this point though and they are just known as one of the heavenly delights.
I love to bake and when others really enjoy something I've made it makes the joy of baking all the better.
I think this one may be more one of my sister's favorites since she often requests it, but it seems pretty popular across the board. It's also really simple to put together so that is a great thing too!
Make it for any peanut butter and chocolate lovers in your family or circle of friends and I'm pretty sure they will thank you and ask you to make it over and over again.
Another fun thing is that you can customize this so many different ways. Use a cake instead of brownies, Add different layers or toppings like fruit or chopped up candies and nuts. Change the flavor of the pudding. The possibilities are endless!
Ingredients
1 box of brownies prepared (or you could make a batch from scratch if you're so inclined)
1 large box of instead chocolate pudding (you could make some from scratch here too if you wanted)
8oz cream cheese softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3-4 Tbsp granulated sugar
Directions
Make the pudding according to the directions and place in fridge to set.
With an electric mixer beat together the heavy cream and the granulated sugar on med-high until stiff peaks form. (Tip: put your mixing bowl and beater in the fridge to get cold first). Store whipped cream in fridge until you're ready to assemble.
Beat together peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in powdered sugar and mix until combined (make sure you start out on low speed so you don't get covered in the sugar dust!). Add in 2 Tbsp of milk and mix well.
Add 1 cup of the whipped cream to the peanut butter mixture and fold in until combined.
Layer all of the yumminess into your trifle dish. I start with a layer of crumbled up brownies, followed by peanut butter mixture, then chocolate pudding, then whipped cream and then repeat it so everything is layered twice. There is really no wrong way to do it though!
I finish with the top layer being whipped cream and then will usually sprinkle some more brownie crumbs on top for decoration, or maybe even a peanut butter cup or other candies I have on hand.
Once you've layered it to your liking, refrigerate until ready to serve and then watch it disappear!
