This recipe was inspired and developed by my niece, Kayla. Our family tested the recipe together. I made the brownies, Kayla prepared the frosting, her uncle cut the ice cream and we all worked together to frost the trifles. We served them at Easter brunch – yum!

It was a true family affair - my sister found the cups, my other niece took the photograph. It was an evening of egg decorating and dessert making
