A different, richer variation of the chocolate trifle recipe calls for the addition of coffee liqueur to the brownies.

| Yield: | 8 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua®), or to taste
- 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding and pie filling mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a mixing bowl until smooth, and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the brownies shows moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Set the brownies aside, and cool completely. 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 all over the brownies. Let the brownies stand 5 minutes to soak up the liqueur.
- In a bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes; allow to stand 5 more minutes to set.
- To assemble dessert, cut the brownies up into small cubes. Layer 1/3 of the brownies into the bottom of a glass trifle bowl, and top with a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped topping. Repeat twice more, ending with whipped topping. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Reviews
Of course I soaked the brownies in Kailua!!!
Excellent and easy! I used vanilla pudding instead of chocolate to prevent full onset diabetes to my dinner guests.
Easy and awesome!
Really loved this. Next time I won’t use quite so much Kahlua, it was a little over powering.
This has been a staple in our family for years, but we usually use a chocolate cake instead of brownies…I will be trying it w/ the brownies though. This is so good…rich and delicious! 🙂
I added a couple of layers of cognac-soaked raspberries…Now I have to bring this dish to all the parties!!
Made this for Bunko and everyone loved it!!
I make this but instead of the brownies,I used a devils food cake that I bake first.
Turned out very well! Everyone loved it!
Well, I followed the general concept of this but added more “stuff”, and it was DELICIOUS! I only used 1/4 cup Kahlua mixed with 1/4 cup of coffee to keep the alcohol to a bare minimum, and instead of cool whip I made home-made sweetened whipped cream, and I used chocolate fudge flavored pudding mix. I also chopped up a giant Hershey Symphony milk chocolate bar with toffee and almond pieces, and added some in each layer along with some caramel and chocolate sauce drizzled around. This will NOT be the last time I make this, oh it was wonderful!
I make this with Chocolate Cake instead of brownie mix (however next time I make it I will try the brownie mix) it is so good, I get great reviews every time I make it. Blanche
Yummy! Also called “Death by Chocolate” and even tastier with layers of crushed Skor bar pieces added.
I make this with chocolate cake and crushed heath bars on top of the whipped cream – yummy!
