Instructions

Bake the Brownies:
Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box using the water, oil, and eggs. Bake and let cool completely. Cut into small cubes or chunks. -
Make the Raspberry Filling:
In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until raspberries break down and mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes). Cool to room temperature. -
Prepare the Creamy Layer:
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until fully combined. -
Assemble the Trifle:
In a trifle dish or individual glasses, layer chunks of brownie, a spoonful of raspberry filling, and a generous layer of the creamy mixture. Repeat layers until the dish is full, finishing with cream and a few fresh raspberries for garnish.
