Add a little patriotic flair to the table this summer with this Red, White and Blue Brownie Trifle. Fresh berries, sweet cream and brownies belong together!

I love eating fresh berries in the spring and summer-they are so sweet and fresh! The combination of blueberries, red strawberries and white sweet cream makes these mini brownie trifles perfect for summer events in the USA.

Layered desserts like trifles are so pretty on the table. You can make this Red, White and Blue Brownie Trifle in one large trifle bowl, or serve individual portions in jars. It’s a great way to show off those layers.

Ingredients needed for brownie trifles:

brownie mix (with ingredients called for on the box like oil and eggs)
heavy whipping cream
vanilla
powdered sugar
fresh blueberries
fresh strawberries
10 half pint jars or one large trifle bowl

Any kind of cake will also make a great trifle. Classic Pound Cake is dense and holds up well to the moisture in the fruits and whipped cream. But I’ve salvaged many a ruined Bundt cake by turning it into a trifle instead!

Steps to creating a delicious brownie trifle

Start by baking and cooling your favorite brownie recipe. If you want over-the-top decadence, you could try Oreo Marshmallow Brownies instead of plain chocolate brownies.

While the brownies are baking and cooling, make fresh whipped cream using heavy whipping cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to get it whipped and airy.

Place the whipped cream into a piping bag so it’s easy to layer in jars (if you’re using them instead of a large trifle bowl. Wash and trim the strawberries and wash the blueberries.

Layer brownie pieces, berries and whipped cream and then top with additional cream and garnish with berries. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
