I'm going to do this one at a show next week and I can't wait!! Just a quick question....is it 3 cups of milk? I saw in the directions about 3 vs. 4 cups of milk because it'll make it thicker, but I didn't see the milk listed in the ingredients. Just wanted to double check!!!

Thanks!!!
 
Another question about the PB triffle ...The "low budget" stores I shopped did not have "dark chocolate" brownies or pudding ... do you think if I added, say, a tablespoon or so of cocoa powder to each it would achieve the desired effect?

Yes, just saw this Becky. I use 3 cups milk instead of 4 because of the peanut butter added in.

Milk wasn't listed as an ingredient because it was a given with the pudding - sorry!

I just made this for people at work last week and it had great reviews again!

It tastes good with regular chocolate brownies and chocolate pudding, I just prefer the "extra".
 
I know ... but dark chocolate? Me likey!I think I'm going to try it and see!

Thanks for the pumpkin trifle recipe - it will be perfect for the fall! My husband will love the PB one, too.

Forgot all about that one! I will look!

Here is the Pumkin Trifle Recipe:

Cake Layer
1 Box Vanilla Cake Mix (and ingredients to make it)
1 Tbsp Cinnamon Plus

Pumpkin Layer
1 Large Box Vanilla Pudding
1 1/2 cup Milk
1 (15oz) can pumpkin (without spices)
3/4 tsp Cinnamon Plus
16 oz Frozen Whipped topping (thawed)

Top Layer
1 Small Box French Vanilla Pudding
1 Cup Milk
8 oz Frozen Whipped topping (thawed)


1) Mix the Cinnamon Plus in with the cake mix, add the other ingredients that the box calls for. Bake. When cool, cube.

2)Mix large box of pudding, 1 1/2 cups of milk, Can Pumpkin, and Cinnamon Plus mix that well, fold in 16 oz Whipped Topping

3)Combine 1 cup Milk, Small box of Pudding, fold in 8 oz whipped topping.

To assemble your trifle place part of the cubed cake in the trifle bowl, put pumpkin mixture on top of that then top with pudding mixture. Repeat.


The recipe doesn't say, but I am doing three layers, using 1/3 of each at a time.

Janet's Peanut Butter Trifle is excellent!

Also - Black Forest Trifle if you would like to have some fruit - it uses cherry pie filling!

do you do the 30 min. fridge time at your shows before serving this recipe?

I don't know - but I know I got it from CS. I like this one since it uses cake instead of cookies. And it uses our Cinnamon Plus Spice blend.

And I just made it again - and I realize I only do 2 layers (not 3!).

Oh, and the top layer is so good I use it to fill my profiterole puffs!
Top Layer:
1 Small Box French Vanilla Pudding
1 Cup Milk
8 oz Frozen Whipped topping (thawed)
 
OK ... silly question .... please define "small" and "large" box ... if they are the 4 ounce boxes I get from Aldi's do I need to use 2?Just made the PB cup triffle and it is awesome ... my cocoa disappeared on me, though ... I would scale back the amount of the cool whip though ... it was a bit much.

Can I prepare a trifle in advance?
