Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2.5 cups crushed Oreo cookies
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup chocolate syrup
Seasonings and Extracts:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
- Melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat immediately after melting.
- Stir 2 cups granulated sugar into the melted butter. Mix 4 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder into the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the brownie batter. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Spread evenly using a spatula.
- Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes at 350°F. Check doneness with a toothpick – it should have a few moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool completely at room temperature. This takes approximately 1-2 hours.
- Beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until completely smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- In a separate cold bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently.
- Stir ½ cup crushed Oreo cookies into the cheesecake mixture.
- Cut cooled brownies into small, bite-sized squares.
- Layer half the brownie pieces in a trifle dish or serving glasses.
- Spoon half the cheesecake mixture over the brownies.
- Sprinkle 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies as the next layer.
- Repeat the layering process with remaining brownies, cheesecake mixture, and Oreos.
- Drizzle ¼ cup chocolate syrup across the top layer.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and extra crushed Oreos for garnish.
- Cover the trifle with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to enhance flavors.
Notes
- Cool the brownies completely before assembling to prevent the cheesecake layer from melting and losing its structure.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the smoothest, richest cheesecake layer that holds its shape perfectly.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the regular brownie mix with a gluten-free brownie recipe or mix.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 4 hours to let the flavors blend and the dessert set properly, creating a more cohesive and delicious treat.
