A couple of days ago I posted my Raspberry Sugar Cookie Tart recipe in honor of Heart Healthy Month. But I didn’t want to end there, so I figured I’d wrap up the month with one more FABULOUS recipe. The sugar cookies were a pretty big hit, but I may have to say that among my taste testers, this may have been an even bigger hit! There’s just something about raspberries being paired with chocolate. It’s a winning combination that almost everyone will love! I’ve been dying to use my favorite brownie recipe ever since I discovered it a couple of months ago. If you haven’t tried my Toffee & Chocolate Chip Brownies, they are a must!
I love trifle recipes and any time I get to pull out my trifle bowl is a good time to me. A couple of my favorite recipes are my Chocolate Brownie Trifle and Peanut Butter Trifle. Both are really tasty. The other thing I love about making a trifle dessert is that I have a large trifle bowl that will feed a crowd, but I also have mini trifle bowls that can be used for individual servings. If you know me, or have been around for any of my ‘min’ recipes, you’ve come to learn that I LOVE all things mini. Seriously. I LOVE all things itty-bitty. Anyway, I digress. I’m telling you, if you love raspberries and you love chocolate this recipe is calling your name!

Recipe Notes
I used my Toffee and Chocolate Chip Brownie recipe (which happens to be my FAVORITE). You can find it here: http://triedandtasty.com/toffee-chocolate-chip-brownies-2/
Just look at how plump and juicy those raspberries are! I’m a huge fan of Driscoll’s. As I was checking out their site – I stumbled upon the perfect description of their product. “Driscoll’s has been committed to growing only the finest raspberries. Family owned and operated Driscoll’s is passionate about growing premium fresh raspberries and organic raspberries. Our raspberries and organic raspberries are sweet, juicy and naturally wholesome. Packed with antioxidants, fiber and vitamins, they’re a healthy treat for any time of the day. Driscoll’s offers exclusive raspberry recipes, including heart healthy raspberry recipes. Trust Driscoll’s to provide the highest quality and best tasting fresh raspberries.” Now, if that doesn’t make you want to sink your teeth in to them – I don’t know what will!

How far in advance can you make this dessert?

Does this have to refrigerate for a period of time, or can you just serve it ?
Colette
Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones. Would it make the brownie wet….
Judy Lukens
I may have missed it …. about how many servings will one recipe make?
Yvonne
Hello Judy! I would guess 8-10 servings, depending on the serving size.

This looks delicious!! Does this need to be served immediately or can it be served on A dessert table?
Yvonne
You can put it on a dessert table, maybe just not leave it out all day but only for a couple of hours max?!?

Mmmm! I made a “healthier” version of your brownies on Valentine’s weekend (1/2 whole wheat pastry flour, coconut oil in place of the butter, and only a cup of sugar). They were still just as oohy-gooey good and I have been having only a 1×1 inch piece each day to curve my sweet tooth. I still have 1/2 a pan, so may try 1/2 Trifle recipe above this weekend to use them up. Almond milk for the pudding? I think it should work. What would be a good alternative to the frozen topping? Maybe just homemade whipped cream so that it is not processed foods. I can’t wait!
Yvonne
That sounds awesome! I’ll have to try your variations – you are doing great keeping on your goals. Good job! I bet the almond milk will work – let me know, will ya? Homemade would definitely be a good alternative for the cool whip. I’m excited for you to try this!
Laurie
Yes, almond milk works in the pudding and gives it that extra layer of nutty flavor. Fresh baked brownies would have been better. Even though my 2 week old 1×1 brownie was curving my sweet tooth; in this recipe, I realized they were drying out. Next time I will make smaller batch or freeze half of the brownies to keep that fresh ooey gooey goodness.
Yvonne
Oh cool! Good to know!
