Chocolate Trifle

Step 1
Gather all ingredients.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square glass baking pan.

Step 3
Combine brownie mix, egg, 1/4 cup water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Stir until well-blended, about 50 strokes. Spread into the prepared pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted 1 inch in from the edges comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 mintues.

Step 5
Cut cooled brownies into 1-inch squares and set aside.

Step 6
Combine condensed milk, remaining 1/2 cup water, and pudding mix in a large bowl; mix until smooth. Fold in 8 ounces whipped topping until no streaks remain.

Step 7
Place 1/2 of the brownies in a trifle bowl or glass serving dish. Top with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then 1/2 of the 12-ounce container of whipped topping. Repeat layers. Shave chocolate on top for garnish.

Step 8
Refrigerate 8 hours before serving.
