Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 4 mason jars
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Once brownies are baked, allow them to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes. This ensures they won't melt the whipped cream.
- Cut the cooled brownies into small, uniform 1/2-inch cubes using a sharp knife. Set aside.
- Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. If using store-bought whipped cream, ensure it's well-chilled.
- Begin layering the trifles in clean mason jars. Start with a layer of brownie cubes at the bottom, covering the entire base.
- Drizzle salted caramel sauce generously over the brownie layer, allowing it to seep between the cubes.
- Add a thick layer of whipped cream on top of the caramel-covered brownies, using a spoon or piping bag for even distribution.
- Repeat the layering process: brownies, caramel sauce, and whipped cream until the mason jar is nearly full.
- Finish the top layer with a final drizzle of salted caramel and sprinkle chopped nuts if desired.
- Refrigerate the trifles for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your decadent Mason Jar Salted Caramel Brownie Trifles!
Tips
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow your brownies to cool completely before assembling. Warm brownies will melt the whipped cream and ruin the perfect layered effect.
- Precision Matters: Cut your brownie cubes into uniform 1/2-inch pieces for a consistent and visually appealing presentation.
- Whipped Cream Wisdom: For the fluffiest whipped cream, use cold heavy cream and chill your mixing bowl beforehand.
- Layering Technique: Use a clear mason jar to showcase the beautiful layers. Take your time when layering to create picture-perfect trifles.
- Make Ahead Magic: These trifles can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making them perfect for entertaining.
- Garnish Game: For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or a chocolate shaving on top.
- Storage Tip: Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days for the best taste and texture.
