• Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add milk and pudding mix; beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until well incorporated into filling.
• Place 1/2 of the brownie squares at the bottom of a trifle bowl or glass serving dish; top with filling. Shave 1/2 of the chocolate bar onto filling using a vegetable peeler. Repeat with remaining brownies, filling, and chocolate bar shavings. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat.
• In a bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs together with the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.
• Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and salt. Then stir in the white chocolate buttons or chips, and the semisweet chocolate buttons or chips. Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.
• Bake for about 25 minutes. You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey. Even with such a big batch you do need to keep checking on it: the difference between gooey brownies and dry ones is only a few minutes. Remember, too, that they will continue to cook as they cool.
• To serve, cut into squares while still warm and pile up on a large plate, sprinkling with confectioners' sugar pushed with a teaspoon through a small sieve.

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder and cook, stirring often, until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool slightly. (Alternatively, combine the butter, sugar and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave on high for another 30 seconds.)
• Stir in the salt and vanilla, then let the mixture cool for 1 minute more. Add the egg and stir until incorporated. Add the flour and stir for 50 brisk strokes.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudge crumbs clinging to it and the surface is shiny and starting to crack, about 23 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
• For the Irish cream pudding: Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in the bottom of a 2-quart saucepan. Slowly add the milk and egg yolk while constantly whisking.
• Turn the heat on the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer while constantly whisking. (Be sure to scrape the edges of the pan frequently to prevent lumps. Whisking vigorously will break up any lumps.) Cook the pudding, constantly whisking, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Irish cream liqueur and butter until melted.
• Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and chop into 1/2-inch cubes. In two small glasses, layer about one-third of the brownie cubes and top each with half of the pudding. Repeat with another layer of brownie cubes and pudding. Top each with the remaining brownie cubes. Cover the trifles with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
