  • 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix Balances the rich chocolate flavor.
  • 2 cups Cold Milk Essential for thickening the pudding.
Assembly and Garnish
  • 8 oz Cool Whip Frozen Whipped Topping Gives the dessert a light, fluffy finish.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch pan. Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package, combining it with the extra-large egg. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, then allow to cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip, then spread this evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes with cold milk until it thickens. Pour this pudding over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Carefully spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer to create a light and fluffy topping. Garnish with chocolate shavings or chocolate syrup.
  5. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
