Ingredient Notes and Brand Suggestions

• gluten and dairy free brownies we bake our homemade fudgey brownie mix for this recipe and our 8x8-inch brownie recipe is the perfect size for this brownie trifle. Be sure to also have the ingredients on hand to make these brownies, see our post linked above to ensure you have all you need. This brownie batter makes super thick brownies and is easy to work with.  You can make your own favorite homemade brownie mix or use a brand box mix, too. You will want to make the brownie ahead of time so they can be completely cooled. We suggest making it the day before or the morning of. If you are trifle bowl is large you may want to double the brownie recipe in 2, 8x8-inch pans.
• two So Delicious Cocowhip containers (9 ounces each). We store them in the freezer until the night before making the dessert. We take them out of the freezer and place them in the refrigerator to thaw overnight. Here is their allergen statement.
• various fresh fruits you can serve this with a flavor combo of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Or serve it with two fruits or just one. I'd suggest staying away from juicy fruits like watermelon or pineapple as they extra juices can soak down to the other trifle layers and will give off a not so perfect texture.

Helpful Tools

• 8x8-inch pan- you'll need one
• mixing bowl- used to make the brownies
• measuring cups- to measure ingredients for brownie batter
• knife- to cut brownies and fruit

Recipe Tips

• Bake the brownies a day ahead so they have time to cool completely before assembling.
• Thaw the Cocowhip containers in the refrigerator overnight rather than at room temperature.
• Avoid juicy fruits like watermelon or pineapple -- their extra juice can soak into the other layers and affect the texture.

Recipe Variations

• Use your favorite store-bought gluten and dairy free brownie mix instead of homemade if you're short on time.
• Mix and match the fruit -- blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries all work well, or use just one or two.
• If your trifle bowl is extra large, double the brownie recipe using two 8x8-inch pans.
