Step-by-step
- In the bowl of an electric mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat heavy cream and sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl and stick in the fridge until ready to use.
- Add the peanut butter and cream cheese to the bowl and beat at medium speed, scraping down the sides a few times until the mixture is creamy.
- Add in powdered sugar and mix until combined, then mix in 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Remove the whipped cream from the fridge and add 1 cup of it to the peanut butter, folding it in until the mixture turns lighter in color and is mostly combined.
- Grab your trifle dish and begin to layer your ingredients however you'd like. I did a layer of brownies, then peanut butter, then a handful of chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and so on.
- Repeat layering until you reach the top, then pipe the remaining whipped cream on top and sprinkle the candy on.
- Use a long spoon to serve!
