Chocolate Passion Bowl

So while this recipe technically came from a book, one of my best friends & the best budding freelance bakers I know made it for our Christmas party last year and it killed!

From Simply Stunning Holiday Desserts
Makes 16 2/3 c. Servings

Ingredients

3 c. cold milk 2 pkg. Chocolate flavor instant pudding (4 svg. size)
8 oz. Cool Whip French Vanilla, thawed & divided 5½ c. 1″ brownie cubes
1 pt. raspberries

Directions

  1. Ahead of time, bake a batch of brownies in a 9″ square dish.  Once cooled and cut into 1″ cubes you should have enough for the brownie layer here.
  2. Beat milk & dry pudding mixes in large bowl with wire whisk 2 minutes or until blended.
  3. Gently stir in 1 c. of the whipped topping.
  4. Place half of the brownies in a 2 qt. serving bowl; top with layers of half each of the pudding mixture, remaining whipped topping, & raspberries.  Repeat all layers.
  5. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.  Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Chef’s Note: If desired, use Baker’s One Bowl Brownies to bake a 13×9″ brownie batch.  Cut enough of the brownies into 1″ cubes to measure for this recipe.  Reserve remaining brownies for snacking!
