Chocolate Brownie Mousse Trifle Egg Free Dessert Carve Your Craving

Trifle desserts are a great choice for the holiday season or any special events like Valentine’s Day, Christmas, house parties or even catering to a large crowd. I make this black forest brownie trifle and Baileys chocolate pudding trifle a lot during the holiday season. It is the perfect dessert to take to a potluck or a dinner party because who can say no to chocolate!! Trifles are super easy to make, fun to assemble, and inexpensive too. This chocolate brownie mousse trifle recipe is easy enough for beginners.

Brownie Trifle Recipe Ingredients

There are 5 components to it. I always use my trusted eggless fudgy brownie recipe. It is very chocolaty and will just melt in your mouth. After baking and cooling, cut them into small pieces and keep them aside. You can use a ready mix or even store-bought brownies for your convenience.

Chocolate mousse.

I use only 3 ingredients to make the mousse and it turns out light, fluffy, and delicious every single time. My chocolate mousse recipe is egg-free and very easy to make.

Whipped cream

I prefer to make my own whipped topping using cold heavy cream and sugar. If I am pressed on time then the frozen cool whip topping works well.

Chocolate ganache sauce.

Is there anything like too much chocolate?? I guess, not!! Firstly, mix up chocolate chips with warm heavy cream using 1:1 ratio to make a quick chocolate sauce. I strongly recommend using homemade or store-bought chocolate sauce in this trifle recipe to make it very moist and extra delicious.

Chocolate shavings on the top.

This step is a bonus. Do not stress if you don’t have the shavings. You can add crumbled brownie pieces, chocolate chips, grated chocolate bar, or even walnuts on top as garnish.

The choice of container matters.

Easy workflow to save time!

As there are so many components involved in making this trifle, I am sharing how I make it for a large party with ease. Make brownies and freeze them up to 3 months in advance or keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for a week. Make the chocolate mousse up to 3 days in advance. Store it in the fridge until needed. If I am using homemade whipped cream then I whip it the very same day. You can whip it up to 1 day in advance. To make this dessert easier, I use frozen topping Cool Whip. Thaw overnight in the fridge or as directed. It works like a charm.

Can you make trifles ahead of time?

This is the best advantage of making trifles for dessert is that you can make it ahead of time. You can assemble the trifle up to 3 days in advance.

Possible substitutes

You can substitute every component with a store-bought one if desired. Swap the brownie for a chocolate cake sponge. Swap homemade whipped cream with cool whip topping.
