• Let brownies cool well so pudding does not melt.
• Chill the pudding before assembling for a firmer layer.
• Crush Oreos to small pieces but not fine crumbs for texture.

• If you want more green, add a drop of green food coloring to a portion of the whipped cream.

variation (if any)

• Add a layer of mint chocolate chips or chopped Andes mints for a mint twist.

FAQs

Q: Can I use homemade brownies instead of a box mix?
A: Yes. Homemade brownies work well. Cool them fully before layering.

Q: How long should I chill the trifle before serving?
A: Chill at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, chill 2 hours or overnight.

Q: Can I make this ahead for a party?
A: Yes. Make the trifle a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge.

Q: What if I want stronger green color?
A: Mix a few drops of green food coloring into the whipped cream until you reach the shade you want.

Q: Can I freeze the trifle?
A: Freezing is not recommended. The texture of the pudding and whipped cream will change when thawed.
