Brownie Trifle

I love chocolate.  The darker, the better.  This trifle not only has rich chocolate brownies in it, but it also has chocolate pudding and homemade whipped cream.  Just divine.

1 package of brownie mix, baked, cooled, and cut into 1-inch squares (I prefer Ghiradelli mixes.)

1 (3.9oz.) package instant chocolate pudding mix

1/2 cup water

1 (14oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (8oz.) container cool whip, thawed

4 cups homemade whipped cream, or 12oz. container cool whip, thawed

1 hershey's bar, shaved for garnish

 

In a large bowl combine pudding mix, water, and sweetened condensed milk.  Mix until smooth.  Gently fold in 8oz. container of cool whip and mix until no streaks remain.  In a trifle bowl, line the bottom with half of the brownie squares, half of the chocolate pudding mix, and half of the homemade whipped cream.  Repeat layers, ending with whipped cream.  Shave chocolate onto top layer for garnish.  Refrigerate 8 hours before serving.
