Elle Can't Cook: Brownie Trifle in Champagne Glass

This recipe is a teaser for my Elle Entertains party next week that I'll be sharing with you! This Brownie Trifle in Champagne Glass is the easiest dessert I've ever "made" and can be created in just minutes. Chances are you already have most of the ingredients on hand. It's cheap & easy but yet looks elegant. Enjoy!

LEVEL: Easy-peasy

TIME: 5 min (around 45 if you are baking the brownies)

INGREDIENTS:

• Champagne glasses (the # of glasses depends on your guests)
• Whipped cream
• Brownies (store bought or make)
• Optional: chocolate syrup or chocolate shavings

METHOD:
I feel silly typing this out, but simply layer your champagne glass with whipped cream and brownies. Top with shaved chocolate/chocolate syrup for more decadence, or chopped nuts.


OPTIONS:

• Use wine glasses for those with a bigger sweet tooth.
• Use ice cream instead of whipped cream. 
• Use Whipped Lightning if you like alcohol in your whipped cream.
• Douse brownies in Frangelico or Kahlua (or other liqueur) for an adult treat. 
• Not a chocolate fan? Try Blondies instead.
• There's always the traditional version of sponge cake & fruit or jam/preserves. Since chocolate is part of my theme next week, I'm using brownies.
• Try caramel & chopped nuts to make it more like a "turtle" dessert.
• Use sea-salt brownies for a nice contrast to the sweet.
