Ingredients:
Brownie layer:
- 1 box brownie mix (for a 13×9-inch pan)
Cream cheese layer:
- 11 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 carton (16 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed (divided)
Chocolate pudding layer:
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
Topping:
- Remaining whipped topping (from the carton)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions:
Brownie layer:
- Prepare and bake the brownies according to the package directions in a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before assembling the dessert.
Cream cheese layer:
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in 2 cups of the thawed whipped topping gently until just combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
Chocolate pudding layer:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Pour the pudding layer over the cream cheese layer.
Assemble and chill:
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer.
- If using pecans, sprinkle them over the whipped cream for a final touch.
- Cover the entire dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert is completely chilled and set.
Tips:
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use a brownie mix made with dark cocoa powder.
- You can substitute homemade brownies for the boxed mix.
- If you don’t have pecans, you can use other chopped nuts or chocolate shavings for the topping.
- To make the dessert ahead of time, you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
Enjoy this delicious and easy Brownie Delight!
