Ingredients
Scale
1 batch protein brownies (baked and cooled)
2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix (low sugar)
4 cups cold high-protein milk
18 oz whipped topping (thawed)
1/4 cup chopped roasted almonds
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Optional: melted chocolate for drizzle
Instructions
- Whisk together instant pudding mix and cold high-protein milk in a large bowl for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Chill in the fridge.
- Cube the protein brownies into 1-inch pieces.
- Place a layer of brownie cubes at the bottom of a large trifle dish.
- Spread 1/3 of the chocolate pudding evenly over the brownies.
- Add a layer of whipped topping over the pudding, using about 1/3 of the container.
- Sprinkle a portion of almonds and mini chocolate chips over the whip.
- Repeat the layers (brownies, pudding, whip, toppings) two more times.
- Top with the remaining almonds, chips, and optional chocolate drizzle.
- Chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight, before serving.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled to prevent the trifle from becoming soggy.
- For a dairy-free version, use high-protein nut milk and coconut-based whipped topping.
