Ingredients

• 1 box Brownie mix
• 2 large Eggs (for brownie mix)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for brownie mix)
• 0.25 cup Water (for brownie mix)
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Kahlua
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Chocolate shavings
• 0.25 cup Coffee or espresso (optional, for brushing brownies)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the brownies according to the instructions on the box, using the eggs, oil, and water listed. Bake in a 9x13-inch pan and allow to cool completely.

Step 2

Cut the cooled brownies into small, bite-sized squares and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Mix in the Kahlua until fully incorporated and set the cheesecake mixture aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar together until stiff peaks form. Reserve about one-third of the whipped cream for topping and gently fold the rest into the cheesecake mixture.

Step 6

If desired, brush the brownie pieces lightly with coffee or espresso for added flavor.

Step 7

In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the dessert starting with a layer of brownies, followed by the Kahlua cheesecake filling, and then a dollop of plain whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the container is full or the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top of the trifle with chocolate shavings for a decorative finish.

Step 9

Chill the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve cold and enjoy this luxurious dessert!
