1 18.25-ounce brownie mix plus the ingredients to make the brownies: eggs, water, and vegetable oil (for 9x13 pan, follow cake like directions)
2 cups angel food cake (cubed)
2 3.4-ounce boxes white chocolate instant pudding & pie filling
1¾ cups cold milk
1 16-ounce container whipped topping (thawed)

Prepare and bake brownies according to “cake like” directions on the package.
When brownies are completely cool, cut into 1” cubes and set aside.
Cut angel food cake into 1” cubes, set aside.
In a medium bowl combine pudding mix and milk. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken.
Fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping (reserving 2 cups).
Now you are ready to assemble in the trifle bowl.
Layer ½ of the brownie cubes into the bottom.
Next, layer ½ of the angel food cake cubes.
Layer ½ of the pudding mixture.
Repeat one more time: brownies, angel food cake, pudding mixture.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. I like to make it ahead and chill it overnight.
Layer the top with 2 cups of whipped topping before serving.

Use cake-like brownies rather than fudgy ones - dense brownies make the layers too heavy and compact.

You can also make these as individual trifles.

I usually make this a day ahead and let it chill overnight.

Cover the trifle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
