9X13 pan of brownies, cut into small cubes (see note - you only will use about 3/4 of the pan of brownies)
Mint Cream Cheese Whipped Cream:
8ounces(227g)cream cheese, light or regular, softened
3cupsheavy whipping cream
1-2teaspoonsmint extract
½cup(57g)powdered sugar
Oreos and Hot Fudge:
25mint Oreos, coarsely chopped
½ - ¾cuphot fudge sauce, warmed slightly
Instructions
For the whipped cream, in a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese with about 1/2 cup of the whipping cream until the mixture is smooth. Add the mint extract, powdered sugar and the remainder of the whipping cream gradually. Mix on high speed until the cream is whipped and the mixture is very thick and creamy.
In a glass trifle dish (or large glass bowl), place in 1/3 of the brownies then 1/3 of the whipped cream, spreading evenly to the edges. Next sprinkle in a little more than 1/3 of the Oreos (about 10 chopped) and finally drizzle with 1/3 of the hot fudge sauce.
Repeat that same layering process two more times (the only difference is that I only used about 4 chopped Oreos for the very final layer - so the first two layers use about 10 chopped Oreos each).
Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Brownies: you'll need about 3/4 of the brownies. I know that's an obscure amount but I found that a 9X9-inch just wasn't enough but the full 9X13-inch pan was too much. So freeze the remaining 1/4 pan of brownies or throw them at your kids for a snack; pretty sure they won't complain. And of course I won't tell if you cut back and only use a 9X9-inch pan of brownies - chicken! Recipe + Mint Extract: I used this recipe for the Easiest Brownies in the World and because I knew they would be used in this divine trifle, I added a teaspoon of mint extract to the brownie batter.
