Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chewy fudge brownie mix (18.3 oz, Duncan Hines Family Size)
  • 2 eggs (or as called for on box)
  • 3 tablespoons water (or as called for on box)
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil (or as called for on box)
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or baking bar finely chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (thawed)
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed, for top layer)

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9×9 baking pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.

  4. Beat 8 ounces room temperature cream cheese on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar gradually, beating on low until smooth with no lumps.
  6. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla and the cooled chocolate. Beat until incorporated and fluffy.
  7. Fold in 8 ounces thawed whipped topping with a spatula until no white streaks remain.
  8. Spread French silk mixture evenly over cooled brownies. Top with remaining 8 ounces whipped topping.
  9. Chill 1-2 hours until set. Top with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients, especially cream cheese and whipped topping, are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies for clean edges.
  • For added flavor, mix in a teaspoon of instant coffee with the chocolate layer.
