Description
A rich, no-bake dessert with layers of fudgy brownie, creamy filling, and a chocolate glaze, all set in the refrigerator for an easy and decadent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (18 oz) package fudge brownie mix, baked and cooled
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow to cool completely, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
- Arrange half of the brownie cubes in the bottom of a 9×9 inch square dish. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the brownies. Top with the remaining brownie cubes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour over the chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create a ganache.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the top layer of brownies, spreading it to cover completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set. Slice and serve chilled.
