Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x13 inch Pan
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted if lumpy
  • 1 cup whipped topping thawed if frozen, or freshly whipped heavy cream
  • 1 package brownie mix prepared according to package instructions
  • to taste chocolate syrup for drizzling on top
  • 1/2 cup crushed nuts optional, walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional for topping

Instructions

  • Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9x13 inch pan. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and free of lumps.
  • If using whipped topping, gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined. If using freshly whipped cream, whip 3/4 cup heavy cream with one tablespoon sugar to soft peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
  • Slice the cooled brownies in half horizontally or cut them into pieces to create two even layers.
  • Place half of the cooled brownie pieces in the bottom of a serving dish or back into the 9x13 pan, creating an even layer.
  • Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie layer, smoothing gently with a spatula to cover all edges.
  • Repeat with the remaining brownies and the remaining cream cheese mixture to form the second layer. Press lightly so the layers hold together.
  • Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top layer and sprinkle crushed nuts or chocolate chips if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the layers to firm up. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brownie base by 1 to 2 minutes.
