Do you want to prepare a delicious dessert that doesn’t take much time? Heaven in a Bowl is a simple dessert that doesn’t take much time. It consists of layers of crumbled brownies, pudding, and peanut butter, balanced to perfection. Layer all your ingredients in a serving bowl and let it chill in the fridge.

After a few hours, you will be left with a delicious and satisfying dessert that doesn’t take much of your precious time. You can use store-bought brownies or prepare them with a brownie mix. I like to use the store-bought brownies to speed up the process and don’t spend much time in the kitchen, but also making them from scratch will work. Spoon some of the desserts on a plate and enjoy the amazing flavors that melt in your mouth.

And the thing I love the most about this recipe is that it is prone to customization. You can always play with the ingredients and create a unique version that suits your taste. You can always use the ingredients you already have in your pantry to prepare a decadent dessert. I will share some tips and tricks on how to enhance this recipe.

Ingredients:
- Fudge brownie mix or Brownies
- Reese’s Miniature cups
- Instant vanilla pudding mix
- Cold milk
- Peanut butter, creamy or chunky
- Vanilla extract
- Thawed whipped topping

How to make Heaven Sits In A Bowl Recipe:
Prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the package.
When cooled, break them into ¾-inch chunks. If you are using store-bought brownies, you can skip this step.

Chop the peanut butter cups in half and reserve ⅓ cups.
Add pudding mix and milk into a bowl. Mix until thick and add in peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well to combine.

Add 16 oz whipped cream and fold it in carefully using a spatula.

Add ⅓ of crumbled brownies into the serving bowl. Add ⅓ peanut butter cups.

Add ⅓ of the prepared pudding mix. Repeat until done with the ingredients.

Add the remaining whipped cream on top and garnish with the reserved ⅓ cup of peanut butter cups.

Place in the fridge to chill and serve!

Enjoy!

How to enhance this recipe?
You can always experiment with different pudding flavors. I used vanilla for this recipe, but you can always go for caramel, chocolate, or butterscotch for a different flavor profile. But you can also add some shredded coconut, crushed cookies, or chocolate chips to add texture. I added some chopped peanut butter cups on top, but you can always switch with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, colorful sprinkles, or coarsely chopped nuts. Anything works when you have this recipe in your hand. You can also prepare a fruity version of the Heaven Sits in a Bowl. Feel free to add some raspberries, strawberries, or banana slices between the pudding and brownie layer.
