    Easy No Bake Dessert: Brownie Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Trifle. Yes, it’s a dessert of the God’s, it’s quick and you don’t even have to bake or cook anything! 

    Easy No Bake Dessert- Brownie Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Trifle Recipe

     

    Brownie Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Trifle

    So yes, I’m fully aware of the big title of this blog post. But seriously, would have even come here if you didn’t see that this dessert included all of those amazing ingredients?

    Or possibly, it was the “easy” or “no bake” part of it that tickled your fancy, like in these no bake chocolate peanut butter bars? Either way, you’re here and I’m about ready to fill you in on this dessert that I made for my husband’s birthday.

    This year for his birthday dinner, I made a ribeye with my easy steak recipe, and paired it with a healthy side dish: Roasted Broccoli, so I could cancel it out with the fiesta ranch potato wedges and buffalo bacon blue cheese dip.

    The look on his face when I brought this trifle out to him after dinner, was absolutely priceless.

    What did you do?

    He looked with amazement at this beauty when I walked towards him, almost like when you see one of those crazy-wild milkshakes for the first time? But the look on your face, when you see how quick and easy it is… will probably be pretty similar to his.

    Store Bought Brownie Bites:

    Alright, I can hear all of you out there that love homemade desserts, and think that store bought anything is a sin. But I adore being able to buy things already made if it will make things in life a bit easier. So for this dessert dish, I bought brownie bites in the bakery of my local grocery store. First, layer the brownies in the bottom of a trifle dish…

    Cheesecake Filling:

    Yep, they make a cheesecake filling ready to eat, in the store too. Feel free to make your own homemade cheesecake filling for this! I’m sure it will be delightful!

    Then spread the cheesecake filling on top of the brownie pieces.

    Sprinkle on chopped up Reeses Cups for tastebud “joy,”… (and use any extras to make these 2-ingredient peanut butter cup cookies!)

    Yes, I got a little excited and started adding brownies before the peanut butter drizzle.

    Peanut Butter Drizzle:

    Then just get crazy with it, and drizzle on some Peanut Butter (or caramel) ice cream topping.

    Repeat:

    Repeat the process of the layering until you reach close to the top and add a layer of whipped cream, chopped brownies, Reeses Cups, and peanut butter drizzle. Before you know it, you’ll have a glorious trifle that’s ready to eat.

    No Trifle Bowl?

    Would you like to make this, but don’t have a trifle bowl? Well you can buy one here for only $14.99, OR… make this in a baking dish for more of a “sheet,” style dessert.

    I’m sure he won’t like me telling you this, but I totally caught my husband eating the leftovers, directly out of the trifle bowl the next morning for breakfast. It was still his birthday, so I decided to just turn around and act like I didn’t see anything…
