Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil’s food cake mix
- Eggs, oil, and water (as specified on the cake mix box for brownies)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (reserve some whole cookies for garnish)
- 1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge sauce, warmed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. Prepare the devil’s food cake mix according to the package directions, substituting it for brownie mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for the time specified on the cake mix box for brownies, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut the brownies into 1-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and softened cream cheese together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until well combined and smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract until just incorporated. Adjust the consistency with milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- In a separate, clean bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and beat briefly to combine.
- In a large trifle dish or a clear glass bowl, begin layering. Start with a layer of cubed brownies. Spoon about one-third of the chocolate cream cheese frosting over the brownies. Sprinkle a generous amount of chopped Oreo cookies over the frosting. Drizzle some warmed hot fudge sauce over the Oreos.
- Continue layering in the same order: brownies, chocolate cream cheese frosting, chopped Oreos, and hot fudge sauce. For the final layer, spread the remaining chocolate cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Decorate the top of the trifle with a few whole Oreo cookies and an extra drizzle of hot fudge sauce. Cover the trifle dish with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the trifles for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
