Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

Two of my favorite things are brownies and chocolate. Brooks absolutely loves peanut butter. So this was the perfect combination. So this is for Brooks...who is lying on the couch, on pain medication, because he just had his ACL and meniscus repaired (don't worry that this is his 3rd knee surgery in 3 years)...
This is the perfect dessert for a large crowd! It makes a ton...but even if you don't eat it all, you will be happy you have leftovers!

Ingredients:

1 batch of your favorite brownies, cooled and cubed
1 large box instant chocolate pudding, prepared as directed
1 bag of peanut butter cups, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

With electric mixer, beat heavy cream and sugar until thick. Refrigerate. 
In another bowl add peanut butter and cream cheese. Mix until incorporated. Add powdered sugar, and milk. Fold in 1 cup of the cream mixture.

Now layer. Starting with brownies, then peanut butter mixture, peanut butter cups, chocolate pudding and whipped cream...and repeat. Refrigerate before serving.
