Happy 4th of July Friends
This Patriotic Brownie Berries and Cream Trifle is the perfect centerpiece for your Fourth of July celebrations, combining layers of fudgy brownies, luscious berries, and creamy goodness that will wow your guests.
Imagine sinking your spoon into layers of rich, chocolatey brownie chunks, nestled between clouds of velvety whipped cream and pudding.

The dense, fudgy brownies provide a satisfying chocolate base, while the sweet and tangy berries add a refreshing element. The creamy layers, made with a blend of smooth vanilla pudding and fluffy whipped cream, create a luxurious texture that perfectly balances the intensity of the chocolate and the brightness of the berries.
Putting together this patriotic dessert is a breeze, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Simply layer the brownie chunks, berries, and creamy mixture in a trifle dish, repeating the process until you reach the top. Complete the look by garnishing with additional brownie stars, sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of blueberries.

Description
Intermingled with the brownie layers are vibrant bursts of red and blue from juicy strawberries and plump blueberries, creating a visually stunning dessert that captures the spirit of Independence Day.
Ingredients
- 1 9×13 pan of brownies (try perfect one bowl brownies or your favorite boxed brownies)
- 2–3 cups of Strawberries
- 2 cups of blueberries
- 1 5.1 oz instant vanilla or lemon pudding
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 TB powdered sugar
Instructions
- Bake brownies in a 9×13 pan. Cool completely and then, punch out about 6-8 stars with a cookie cutter. It is fun to use different sizes of star cookie cutters if you have them. Cube the rest of the brownies left in the pan.
- Wash the berries and slice the strawberries.
- Make pudding according to the package directions. Using your kitchen beaters or mixer whip the cream with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Fold the whipped cream into the pudding.
- In a trifle bowl, start out with cubes of brownies, then put about half of the pudding mixture, and then half of the blueberries and strawberries. After the berries, then carefully put the cut out brownie stars upright against the inside of the bowl, nestled into the berries and pudding. Finish off with another layer of brownie cubes, pudding, and berries. I like to put a couple of stars on top with the berries in a fun design.
- Chill for a couple of hours and serve!
Notes
* The brownies can be switched out for pound cake if you would prefer
