This Moose Tracks Trifle dessert recipe has all of the classic flavors of Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge, & Peanut Butter that you would expect to find in the famous Moose Tracks ice cream…but it is taken one step further and I made a trifle out of that amazing flavor combo, I just couldn’t help myself! You’ll understand why when you try it, believe me.
What is moose tracks?
I’m sure that some company somewhere (back in the day) coined the phrase, but “moose tracks” is just a fancy way of putting together the flavors of chocolate, peanut butter, and vanilla…that’s really all that it is.
I am a huge fan of the Moose Tracks flavored Ice Cream, so I decided that I wanted to see if I could figure out a way to make a yummy trifle version of that delicious flavor combo.
Not meaning to toot my own horn, but once in a great, great while I am at the top of my game in the kitchen, and this recipe is easily one of the best ones on my site thus far! I love it!
I worked on this recipe for months, in my brain, thinking about ideas and how it could work, before I even started to try in the kitchen… and I think that it turned out SO FREAKING TASTY!
That’s just my opinion though. You’ll have to try it and let me know what you think.
Prepare your thighs for this one!…lol.
How to make this homemade moose tracks dessert:
I’ll start by showing you all of the ingredients all laid out…
We’ve got layers of Fudge Brownies (instead of cake or lady fingers that most trifles have). They were cut into squares using my Norpro Scraper.
Then layered into my trifle bowl. I love this trifle bowl so much I bought two, you can get one here too.
Then came the Peanut Butter Mousse,
all three of them repeated,
followed by Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips,
covered in hot fudge, and a few more chips just for good measure. One can never have enough, right?
Doesn’t this moose tracks moose dessert look divine?
Even with my personal mediocre photography skills it looks tasty enough to lick the screen, doesn’t it?

Moose Tracks Trifle Dessert Recipe (Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle)
This Moose Tracks Trifle dessert recipe has the classic flavors Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge, & Peanut Butter that is usually in ice cream…but I just had to make a trifle out of that delicious flavor combo.

- 3X Vanilla Mousse Recipe

Instructions

- Follow with half of the Vanilla Mousse.
- Repeat those layers.
- Sprinkle ⅔rds of the Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate chips.
- Warm the hot fudge topping for about 30 seconds and let it cool a bit, so it's not too warm but still spreadable.

Notes
Before you start prepare each of the first three ingredients, links to recipes for the vanilla and peanut butter mousse's are found in the post, or look them up in the search bar. They also have printable recipe cards available.
I let my brownies cool and then left them sitting in the cooled oven over night so that they would be a little more dry. This makes the brownies get soggy less quickly, so if you want your trifle to stay good for a couple/few days in the fridge, maybe do that too.I would not make this more than one night before needed...just so it tastes best.
If I were to make these again I would probably double the amount of brownies used, so use your best judgement on how many brownies to make.
Just in case you missed the links, higher up in the post, for the Vanilla and Peanut Butter Mousse recipes, here they are again:
