Ingredients
3 cups milk
2 packs instant chocolate pudding (3.4 ounces each)
8 ounces heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

How to make the chocolate cream layer
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of milk (any fat level) and 2 packages of instant chocolate pudding. Set the bowl in the fridge to set.
- In a separate bowl, using a hand or a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar and peppermint extract together until stiff peaks form. Reserve about 1 cup of whipped cream mixture for topping the trifle.
- Add the whipped cream mixture to the chocolate pudding mixture and fold it together using a rubber spatula until well combined. Place the mixture in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the trifle.
How to make the brownie layer
- Prepare 2 boxes of brownies per package instructions.
How to assemble the trifle
- Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature, then remove them from the pan and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- Fill the bottom of a trifle bowl with brownie pieces, then a layer of chocolate cream, then a layer of crushed candy canes. Repeat these steps until you have used all of the ingredients, finishing with chocolate cream. Reserve a small amount of crushed candy cones for topping the trifle.
- Top the trifle with the reserved whipped cream mixture, then sprinkle with a final layer of crushed candy canes.
