Ingredients

• 1 box (19.5 oz) brownie mix
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

How to Make Chocolate Cream Layered Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until just combined and pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
3. While the brownies cool, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and creamy.
4. Once the brownies are cool, spread the cream filling evenly over the top of the brownies.
5. For the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
6. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cream layer, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours to set the ganache.
7. Once set, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your indulgent treat!

For the best results, ensure that your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling. Be careful not to overbake the brownies; they should be fudgy, not dry. If you want extra chocolate flavor, consider folding in some chocolate chips into the cream filling.

Easy Variations

• Add a layer of crushed nuts or cookies between the brownie and cream layers for added texture.
• Incorporate peppermint extract into the cream filling for a refreshing twist.
• Swirl in some raspberry or cherry preserves for a fruity contrast.
• Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.

What to Serve With It

Pair these brownies with any of the following for a delightful dessert experience:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• A dollop of whipped cream.
• Fresh berries, like strawberries or raspberries.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you prefer them warm, simply microwave individual servings for about 10-15 seconds.
