Strawberry and Chocolate Brownie Trifle ready to be served.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A trifle is always a great dessert, but the cream layer makes this strawberry brownie one exceptional. Mascarpone is similar to tangy cream cheese and decadent. Adding balsamic takes the creamy layer to the next level. We love the combination of chocolate, strawberry, and balsamic flavors. It's impressive to present and easy to make!
