Layering Strawberry Brownie Trifle
When brownies have cooled cut into squares, about 1/4 of the pan of brownies (for 6 small glasses) and layer in small glasses with whipped cream, brownies and strawberries, repeat until glasses are filled and top with mint leaves if desired.
This brownie recipe will make more brownies than you will need for these trifles but you could freeze or like we did just eat them, Yum!
