BROWNIE TRIFLE | deliciously gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and vegan friendly

[@Downshiftology]

Omg - you guys are gonna love this dessert! And it's actually super easy to make! I chat about the substitutions on the full blog post, including that you can make it vegan with an egg replacer. Enjoy! xo - Lisa

[@msmreviews8408]

I may be doing this for Thanksgiving!!!

[@M54JC]

So... what would you substitute the eggs for, to make it vegan friendly?

[@Downshiftology]

Hi there! You can use mashed bananas as an egg replacer :)

[@77leofi]

Vegan friendly = you can also make it vegan. So relax people! 😍 Most of the more traditional trifle recipes include some sort of alcohol to soak the cake... Any suggestions? 😎

[@dorothyyoung8231]

77leofi, This recipe has no alcohol. If you want to sprinkle the brownie pieces with a few tablespoons of rum, Kahlúa, orange or raspberry liqueur, etc., you can do that.

[@Downshiftology]

77leofi I agree with the rum or even a brandy! Hope you enjoy it. ❤️

[@JHollidayB]

Thank you for making it alcohol free!

I just wanted to let you know when I get home from work, an in between my own small channel building, I’m watching your channel! Definitely the BEST channel I have come across (and I can be a little critic). It’s balanced, professional, very well organized, and fresh! I know the work that goes into all of this and I’m so grateful you share your education with us💜 I can tell you are a genuine sweet person too.

[@Downshiftology]

I am so happy to hear that 😊And welcome to the Downshiftology community. I hope that each person gains some new insight on how to nourish the body here.

I'd love to see a Mochi recipe with red bean paste or any flavor really, the texture is amazing

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you for teaching me a new recipe. I love that you made this dairy free. I ditched dairy and now I make dairy free recipes and videos too. I hope we can learn more from each other. I’m thankful to be able to learn from your talent and skills.

[@itsmelarri]

Nicely done! You can store the coconut cream upside down in the fridge, and then when you open the top, it will all be coconut water, easier to pour away!

[@habibifamily7372]

I think you are the Best healthy recipe vlogger! I've done so many of your desserts and my family can't get enough! We all Love your recipes because they're great for our healthy sweet tooth. I'm definitely making this showstopper! Thank you so much!

I'm coming over your house. Those looked so divine!

[@littlemissalice8786]

WHAT KIND OF WITCHCRAFT IS THIS!? I grew up only aware of strawberry trifle, so to come in and suggest a chocolate version was mind-blowing enough...and then you added gluten-free and dairy-free to that equation. Magic! So happy I'm newly subscribed to your channel.

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Or make individual trifles in small glass bowls or glasses.

[@sargondp69]

I could not make this: ingredients would get eaten in the process. Because I cannot find Koyo Coconut milk anymore :( I use this Native Forest brand of coconut milk--inexpensive and good, but inconsistent as the gum and oil content is high. I separate these as well as they collect on the very top of the can. it is best to flip the can upside down and pour the water out first. This is easier but does not always work mind you. It helps to set the milk out for a while before placing in the frig overnight or longer. Before opening the can, you can also try placing it in the freezer for just few minutes (water will freeze if left more than 10 mins or so).

[@dinky..]

Great tip! Thank you

[@msml4]

Yum. Certainly looks delicious. I like your mini version too.

[@Downshiftology]

[@jefflapworth]

I love your recipes and that you don’t overwhelm with way too many options. I like to keep life simple and quality over quantity wins every time for me. I identify your channel with good healthy living and a wider awareness, as such was a little surprised to see you using plastic film to cover the bowls while chilling in the fridge. I’ve not used this wasteful and unnecessary plastic film for years now, a large plate over the bowl does the job just as well. Would love to see you demonstrating environmental awareness with all the products you use.

[@Tikip0p]

[@kikiscorner4184]

This looks amazing. But how exactly do you serve a trifle? Do you just scoop some out into a bowl? Just the top couple layers? Or all the way to the bottom? 🤔

[@Downshiftology]

You can scoop it into small bowls, starting from the bottom! Don't be afraid to get messy 😊

[@dbmgna3951]

Yessss The brownie mix and all their products are certified Kosher by the ou! Now all I have to do is reduce the brownie carbs for my body’s healing, any suggestions, please. I work for my total daily carbs to be 20 grams or below.

Do you think this could be frozen to help travel? I always go to family who an hour away for Christmas, Easter and New Years Day family meals where my Aunt cooks for all 30+ of my family! (So assembling the triple once at her house isn't an option because it is chaos over there). I'm wondering if I could freeze the whole triple (or even just the layers of coconut whipped cream) which would defrost (but hopefully stay cool) on the hour drive (and then be placed in the fridge once arrive). What do yall think? Do you have any experience freezing whipped coconut?

[@zeynepbusbee6886]

Hey Lisa, love your channel, try the recipes and tell everyone about you. Thank you for everything. One question: what do you do with the left overs after you cook and film? I am sure you eat them but some stuff are a lot😊also, do you have anyone help you to clean up? Your pans, sheets etc qll so very clean and i was sondering, do you scrub them or you have a team? Sorry for lots of curious questions😊

I just did a “trial” run of this as I wanted to make for Christmas. I love the brownies and whip cream but the pudding didn’t have much flavor. I sweetened with vanilla and Lankato maple syrup. Do you have any suggestions to make the pudding taste more sweet. Ours was pretty bland.

Could you try powdered sugar or regular sugar? I wonder if that might work?

Ummm if I could 'like' this more than once, I would!! I opened youtube the SECOND I got the notification for this video. I've never heard of trifle before but this looks amazing!! I don't have a trifle dish but I'm thinking I could make this in a bowl or even in a glass casserole dish (although it'd be much shallower). It wouldn't be as pretty, but it would probably be just as delicious!! I think I'll be making a half-batch for my husband and I for Thanksgiving :) How long do you think leftovers would last in the fridge?

[@Downshiftology]

Hahah! I'm so happy to hear that Devon 😊Yes, you can definitely make this in a large bowl, or if you watch the end of the video, you can make this into smaller bowls as well. This will be perfect for Thanksgiving! As for storing leftovers, this will last a few days in the fridge or you can freeze it. Just the brownies might harden a bit after awhile.
