OMG Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Trifle is such a wonderful dessert to impress for the holidays and that’s awesome, because it also will feed a small army! ๐
This stunning trifle is jam-packed with everybody’s favorite oreo cookies, rich chocolate ganache, cocoa fudgy brownies, fluffy oreo cheesecake and creamy, fluffy luscious layers of whipped cream.
It’s pure Oreo chocolate brownie heaven. I am in love with brownies…and these are amazing! You can use boxed as well, but home-made brownies…*sigh* I am in love with brownies…what can I say?
The kids loved the Oreos on the top and dipped them in the whipped cream, while the rest of it was dreamily devoured by adults. It’s a fun dessert!
I had debated if I should put 1/2 cookies or whole ones on top, and I definitely made the right choice. Go whole Oreos! YUM!
So, there are Oreos galore in this dessert.
Hmmm…Let’s see…
Oreo
Is that enough Oreos? ๐
Some people say never! What do you say?
Other trifles? Try this Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie Mousse Trifle, this Ultimate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Trifle and this Double Stuff Oreo Brownie Chocolate Mousse Trifle,
Seriously more OMG’s!
BTW…This dessert is addicting. I think it’s better, even a day or two later. I think it’s because the Oreos are more softened. I hope you try it! It’s perfect for every holiday and special event you could ever think of.
Change the cookies up for different flavor options for different seasons. Fun, right?
Trifle Tip: To show off the layers using a straight-sided glass dish is best. If you do not have a trifle dish, get creative, Use a glass bowl or make individual trifles in wine glasses, tumblers, or jam jars.
