Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Brownie Mix: Go for your favorite box mix or homemade brownies. Either way, ensure it’s fudgy for best results.
• Butter: Use unsalted butter for more control over the overall saltiness of your cake.
• Eggs: Fresh eggs help bind everything together beautifully, ensuring a moist texture.
• Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese adds richness and balance against the sweetness of the brownies.
• Powdered Sugar: This sweetener dissolves easily into frostings, giving them that light and fluffy texture we all love.
• Vanilla Extract: A splash of pure vanilla enhances flavors, making everything taste even more delicious.
• Chocolate Chips: Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for that extra melty goodness between layers.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter.

Prepare Brownies: In a large bowl, combine your brownie mix with melted butter and eggs according to package instructions. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Bake Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean but slightly moist.

Cool Brownies: Once baked, let your brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. They should feel firm yet soft to touch.

Make Frosting: While cooling, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy about 3 minutes should do it.

Layer Cake: Cut your cooled brownies into two equal parts. Spread half of the cream cheese frosting generously over one layer before stacking with the second layer on top.

Chill & Serve: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This chilling step allows flavors to meld beautifully

Slice & Enjoy: Once chilled, slice into squares or rectangles as desired. Serve cold alongside fresh berries or whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy
