Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 batch protein brownies baked and cooled
- 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix I like Simply Desserts for a low sugar option
- 4 cups cold high-protein milk I used Fairlife
- 2 9 oz tubs TruWhip or So Delicious CocoWhip, thawed I used 1 ½ tubs so you’ll have a bit leftover
- ¼ cup chopped or sliced salted & roasted almonds
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- Optional: Extra chocolate chips or melted chocolate drizzle for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and cold high-protein milk until thickened, about 2–3 minutes. Chill in the fridge while you prep everything else.
- Cube the protein brownies and add them to the bottom of a large trifle dish or glass bowl, just until the bottom is covered. It’s okay if there’s a little space between the cubes.
- Spread ⅓ of the pudding evenly over the brownie layer. Spoon about half of a tub of the TruWhip/CocoWhip on top of the pudding and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle half of the almonds and mini chocolate chips over the whipped topping.
- Repeat with the remaining brownies, pudding, and TruWhip/CocoWhip two more times.
- Top the final layer of whipped topping with the rest of the almonds and chocolate chips. Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate if you’re feeling extra.
- Let the trifle chill for at least 1 hour before serving (overnight is even better!).
Notes
- You can use store-bought or boxed brownie mix if you’re short on time. Just note, that the amount of protein in this recipe will be different.
- To make it dairy-free, use a plant-based pudding mix, non-dairy milk and coconut whipped topping.
- This recipe is best served chilled. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
