Yes! Trifles normally taste EVEN BETTER after sitting together...all the flavors are able to mingle!

I don't have that recipe...but I will bet if you use the recipe for Tiramisu Brownies and layer it you would have one yummy trifle! I would use either broken up brownie pieces or dark chocolate cake, layer with the tiramisu "filling" that you make with the milk, pudding, coffee, oreos, etc, and also layer with Cool Whip. If you wanted to add another layer, you could even do a plain chocolate pudding layer!

Here is that recipe, just in case:

Tiramisu Brownie Squares
Submitted by RINI
1 package (19-21 ounces) brownie mix (plus ingredients to make cake-like brownies)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup instant coffee granules
1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) cheesecake instant pudding and pie filling
20 chocolate crème-filled sandwich cookies, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, grated
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray rectangular baker with oil. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies; pour into baker, spreading evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.

2. In a bowl, combine milk and instant coffee granules; stir until dissolved. Add half of the whipped topping and pudding mix; whisk until smooth. Coarsely chop cookies; fold into pudding mixture. Spread filling evenly over cooled brownie.

3. Attach open star tip to a decorator; fill with remaining whipped topping. Pipe diagonal rows, 1/4 inch apart, over entire surface of filling. Grate chocolate morsels over whipped topping. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Chill 30 minutes. Slice& Serve .
