There's a very specific look people get when this trifle comes out of the fridge — something between excitement and mild aggression, like a pack of wolves circling a deer. It's the most popular trifle I make, probably because it's nearly impossible to mess up anything involving Oreos.
Trifles get a reputation for being fancy, but this one is about as low-effort as desserts get: bake a box of brownies, stir together some pudding, and layer it all with softened Oreos and whipped topping. I've genuinely stood in front of the refrigerator with a spoon and a timer, waiting for this to be ready.
It keeps well for up to a week in the fridge, which is either a great make-ahead trick or completely irrelevant, depending on how fast your family finds it.
