Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the package)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bake the Brownies: Prepare and bake the brownies according to package instructions. Let them cool completely, then cut them into squares or break them into crumbles, depending on your preferred texture.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping until well combined.
- Prepare the Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes to set.
- Assemble the Cake: In a 9×13-inch dish, layer half of the brownie pieces on the bottom. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownies, followed by a layer of the chocolate pudding.
- Top It Off: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Garnish with chocolate chips or chocolate shavings.
- Chill & Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice and enjoy chilled!
