Valentine’s Brownie & Berry Trifles

When it comes to Valentine’s day, the only request I have is that it involves a lot of chocolate! The very first Valentine’s my partner Justin & I spent together, I surprised him with homemade heart shaped brownies! A lot has changed since then, but there is still not much that beats coming home to a decadent brownie dessert. This year, I am going to do a twist on those brownies & make something a little more elegant: brownie trifles.

While trifles are usually made in a large glass bowl, I scaled them down to portioned individual trifles. These make for the perfect dessert after cooking a romantic meal together. You can make them a few hours ahead of time so they are ready to go in the fridge or assemble them together. While I layered mine with raspberries, any variety of fresh fruit will work. I like the tartness the berries bring to offset the sweetness from the whipped cream & brownie chunks.

Happy Valentines friends! May it involve as much chocolate as your heart desires.
