This trifle isn’t just a dessert—it’s an experience. Fudgy brownies, airy coffee mousse, and whipped cream stack up in total decadence. Each bite is a collision of rich chocolate and bold espresso, making store-bought desserts look like a joke. It’s messy, indulgent, and completely worth the sugar rush. No complicated techniques, just layers of pure satisfaction. You’ll probably regret not making more.
