I don't have that recipe...but I will bet if you use the recipe for Tiramisu Brownies and layer it you would have one yummy trifle! I would use either broken up brownie pieces or dark chocolate cake, layer with the tiramisu "filling" that you make with the milk, pudding, coffee, oreos, etc, and also layer with Cool Whip. If you wanted to add another layer, you could even do a plain chocolate pudding layer!
Here is that recipe, just in case:
Tiramisu Brownie Squares
Submitted by RINI
1 package (19-21 ounces) brownie mix (plus ingredients to make cake-like brownies)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup instant coffee granules
1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) cheesecake instant pudding and pie filling
20 chocolate crème-filled sandwich cookies, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, grated
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray rectangular baker with oil. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies; pour into baker, spreading evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
2. In a bowl, combine milk and instant coffee granules; stir until dissolved. Add half of the whipped topping and pudding mix; whisk until smooth. Coarsely chop cookies; fold into pudding mixture. Spread filling evenly over cooled brownie.
3. Attach open star tip to a decorator; fill with remaining whipped topping. Pipe diagonal rows, 1/4 inch apart, over entire surface of filling. Grate chocolate morsels over whipped topping. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Chill 30 minutes. Slice& Serve .

:blushing:Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients do I need to prepare a Cappuccino Mousse Trifle?
To prepare a Cappuccino Mousse Trifle, you will need the following ingredients: heavy cream, powdered sugar, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and ladyfinger cookies or sponge cake. You may also want to have chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish.
How can I make the mousse ahead of time?
You can make the cappuccino mousse a day in advance. Simply prepare the mousse according to the recipe, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.
What is the best way to layer the trifle?
Start by placing a layer of ladyfinger cookies or sponge cake at the bottom of your trifle dish. Next, add a layer of cappuccino mousse, followed by another layer of cookies, and repeat until you reach the top. Finish with a final layer of mousse and garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
How can I ensure my mousse is fluffy and light?
To achieve a fluffy and light mousse, make sure to whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, and gently fold it into the coffee mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream and affect the texture of your mousse.
Can I substitute any ingredients in the trifle recipe?
Yes, you can substitute some ingredients based on your preferences. For instance, you can use a dairy-free whipped topping instead of heavy cream, or opt for decaffeinated coffee granules if you prefer a caffeine-free dessert. Additionally, you can use gluten-free ladyfingers if needed.
