# Steps:
01 -
Heat up your oven to the number on the brownie box. Grab a 9×13-inch pan and grease it. Prepare the brownie mix as directed, tossing in the extra-large egg. Stir until it’s all blended, pour it into the prepared pan, and bake as the box tells you. Let it cool completely before continuing.
02 -
Use a bowl and beat the cream cheese until it’s completely smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar, mixing while you go, then gently fold in the whipped topping. Spread this creamy mix across the cooled brownies evenly.
03 -
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, instant vanilla pudding, and chocolate pudding until thick and creamy. Spread this pudding blend over the cream cheese layer smoothly.
04 -
Layer the rest of the whipped topping over the pudding layer and add your chocolate finish—whether it’s grated chocolate or syrup, your choice.
05 -
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight so everything sets up well. When it’s ready, cut into chilled squares for serving.
# Tips:
01 -
Before adding the cream cheese layer, make sure the brownies are fully cooled.
02 -
For the best firmness, chill the dessert for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight.
03 -
Swap in light cream cheese and sugar-free pudding to reduce calories.
04 -
Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to three days.
