Chilling Brownie Trifle: Prepping Ahead of Time?

[PCSarahjm]

This is a question to all?? I am making a brownie trifle my question is I want to make it the night before will the brownies get sogie(sp)? I want to make sure that the trifle is really cold it tastes so much better that way.

I think it all depends on what all you are putting on top of the brownies. If it is pudding or something I do not know if I would make it the night before.

The layers are brownie, caramel walnuts, choc. mousse, coolwhip, skor bar, choc syrup

That does not sound like it would be too soggy. I know the pudding just soaks up a lot, but the cool whip does not.

It's making me hungry and I do not even like chocolate! ha!

I thought maybe the caramel walnuts(caramel ice cream topping mixed with walnuts) would serve as a barrier.

A trifle is supposed to soak up the liquid and get a little soft (not really soggy, but heading in that direction, LOL). Brownies are usually dense enough that they should be fine, and not soak up too much of the moisture, even if you do make it the night before.

It might actually be BETTER if you let it sit over night. I know the Lime Bery Mousse Trifle is!

thanks I will let everyone know how it turns out. I will be making it wednesday for a thursday night show

why not just put everything in the fridge overnight and then put it together an hour or so before the show. it will have to blend but wont really have a chance to get too soggy

I made the3 double chocolate mocha trifle the night before and it was delicious. You layer brownies and a mixture of 2 packs white chocolate pudding, a large container of cool whip 1 3/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons instant coffee mixed in 1/4 cup water and then sprinkle each layer with heath bits Yummy!

The brownie trifle I make I sort of made up but this is it. Brownies cut into bite size, 1 cup walnuts mixed with caramel topping ( I don't really measure anything), 1 box pudding mixed with 1 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tub cool whip, 8 oz cream cheese mix well put on top of walnuts, then the rest of cool whip, chop a skor bar and drizzle with choc. syrup. I haven't put this in the trifle bowl but plan to for my thursday show. First time I made it in the rectangular baker.

You girls are making me hungry! The only thing I've put in my Trifle is a candle with a lei for my Taste of the Tropics parties. I guess I better try some of your recipes. I bet I'll sell more Trifle Bowls!
