3. 3

   Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together the whipping cream, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form.

   To assemble the trifle, loosely break up the brownie bites.

6. 6

   If the trifle dish is even at the bottom, place a layer of broken brownies over the bottom of the dish.

   (If the trifle dish has a dip in the center, spread 1/2 cup chocolate pudding into the dip to even it out before starting with an even layer of brownies.)

8. 8

   Top the brownies with 1 cup of pudding, spreading it to an even layer with an offset spatula.

9. 9

   Follow by spreading 1 1/2 cups of the peanut butter whipped cream atop the pudding layer.

    Repeat twice with the remaining brownie bites, pudding and whipped cream, creating 9 layers total and ending with a whipped cream layer.
