Instructions

Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened. Chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set.
Make Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a mixer until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy whipped cream.
Assemble First Layer: Place half of the brownie cubes evenly in the bottom of a large trifle dish or individual dessert glasses to form the base layer.
Add Chocolate Pudding Layer: Spoon half of the chilled chocolate pudding over the brownies, spreading it evenly.
Add Whipped Cream Layer: Spread half of the whipped cream over the pudding layer smoothly.
Add Raspberry Layer: Scatter half of the fresh raspberries evenly over the whipped cream.
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining brownie cubes, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and raspberries.
Finish and Garnish: Top the trifle with a final dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate chips or shaved chocolate over the top for an elegant finish.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

Notes

You can make this dessert up to a day ahead to save time and enhance flavors.
For added texture, consider adding crushed cookies or chopped nuts between the layers.
If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen raspberries can be used, just thaw and drain before layering.
