I love all things coffee and chocolate so I’m considering this to be the pretty much the best dessert ever. It comes together so easily and would be a fantastic dessert for entertaining.
The key to this dessert is the great coffee, it really highlights the chocolate flavor. I love cooking and baking with coffee. One of my favorite pot roast recipes is made with coffee and creates an incredibly rich and flavorful gravy.
My Mocha Brownie Truffles are always a huge hit for the holidays and was the inspiration for these Mocha Brownie Trifles. Think outside the cup and you will love the depth of flavor that coffee can add to your holiday recipes!
I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips with a bit of my morning coffee. Whipped up some heavy cream and then combined the two together.
I layered that with some of my favorite brownies (also made with coffee) in mason jars and topped it off with a little of the whipped cream. Make these tasty treats a day ahead for an impressive and delicious dessert that your guests will love.

What a cool coffee maker! And these trifles are amazing. Wish I had one with my coffee right now.
oh wow! I haven’t seen these new craft coffee products, I’m in love with the Siphon Brew – it’s gorgeous!!
The trifles are the perfect dessert.
That coffee maker is so cool! But these trifles…perfect for the mocha addict in me!
LOVE the look of that coffee maker. I got rid of the whole countertop drip one after our last one broke in favor of a stovetop percolator just because the drip was too ugly and cumbersome on the counter. This changes my mind about having something out on the counter though, so stylish!
Looks fabulous! I have a question though. Melting chocolate and water based products normally don’t mix. Wouldn’t the coffee make the chocolate mixture seize up?
