This rich and indulgent Candy Cane Brownie Trifle is the perfect dessert for any holiday celebration. With layers of fudgy brownie chunks, chocolate peppermint sauce, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes, it’s a festive treat that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients

1 (9×13-inch) pan of baked brownies (store-bought or homemade)

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

3 tablespoons butter

1 ¼ cups half and half (or cream)

¾ cup sugar

3 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup

¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

2 cups whipping cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

¼ to ½ teaspoon peppermint extract (to taste)

1 cup crushed candy canes (about 12 candy canes)

Instructions

  1. Make the brownies: Prepare the brownies and cool completely. Cut them into bite-size chunks and set aside.
  2. Prepare the chocolate peppermint sauce: Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the half and half, sugar, and corn syrup. Boil for about 8 minutes, then stir in peppermint extract and cool to room temperature.
  3. Make the whipped cream: Beat the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract in a chilled mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
  4. Assemble the trifle: Layer brownie chunks, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes in individual cups or a trifle dish. Repeat the layers and finish with whipped cream and crushed candy canes on top.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer a different flavor, you can use crushed chocolate bars, toffee bits, or other festive candy pieces instead of candy canes.

For a non-dairy version, use coconut cream or non-dairy whipped topping.

Store-bought whipped topping can be used in place of homemade whipped cream for convenience.
