St. Patrick’s Day Trifle

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I made this tasty trifle for a St. Patrick’s Day work party last year, and I couldn’t wait to try it out again this year. We had “game night” with some friends last night, so I threw this together, and it was a big hit. It was just as delicious as I remembered, and it came together very easily. Hope you all have a great day – don’t forget your green!

Printable Recipe

ingredients:
1 (3.4oz) box cook and serve chocolate pudding
3 1/2 cups milk
1 chocolate cake mix
1 cup Andes mint baking chips, plus additional for garnish
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup Irish creme coffee creamer (I used International Delight)
6 drops green food coloring
1 tub Cool Whip

instructions:
Combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups milk. Stir constantly over medium heat, until the pudding thickens.

Combine the pudding mixture with the cake mix, and stir completely.

Line a 13×9 baking dish with foil, and spread the brownie mixture in the pan. Top with the Andes mint baking chips.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

While the brownies are cooling, combine the vanilla pudding mix, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 cup coffee creamer, and green food coloring. Stir completely, cover, and refrigerate to set.

Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into small pieces, and place in a baking dish.

Pour the remaining 1/2 cup coffee creamer over the brownies, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Layer the trifle together, starting with brownies as the bottom layer.

Top with the green pudding mixture, and garnish with Andes mint baking chips.

Top with a layer of cool whip.

Continue repeating the layers, until you run out of ingredients. Finish the trifle with a final layer of cool whip and Andes mint baking chips.

Enjoy!
