This trifle can be enjoyed immediately after it is made. 
It can also be kept in the fridge overnight.

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

You can also prepare the various elements ahead of time and then assemble on the day.

VARIATIONS

This recipe is incredibly adaptable. Here are some ideas:
Add a layer of your favourite snacks - Oreos, Crunchies, Maltesers (Whatever you like).
Make an Chocolate Orange version -  Add crystalised oranges on top of the Brownies and Orange Juice instead of Hot Chocolate. Melt Chocolate Oranges and add on top of the Custard and add chopped Chocolate Oranges for the top.
Make a Mint Version - Add a little Mint Essence into the Chocolate Custard. Add some flavoured Mint Chocolate on top.
Trade the brownies for Blondies and add a Caramel drizzle.
Make a mini version - Individual servings of trifles are great for gatherings.

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST BROWNIE TRIFLE

Use a good quality brownie mix or make your own!
Let the brownies cool completely before using so that the other layers are not affected.
