No Bake Brownies & Cream
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Prepare the Ghirardelli brownie mix according to box directions, using milk or coffee instead of water, and adding a little vanilla extract and espresso powder (measured with your heart).
- 2Set the prepared brownie chunks aside.
- 3Mix one block of softened cream cheese and one cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
- 4Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (measured with your heart) to the cream cheese mixture.
- 5Add approximately half of one cup of whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix for a bit.
- 6Add the remaining whipping cream, scrape the bowl down, and mix again to create the base.
- 7Spread this cream cheese base out to ensure the bottom of the pan is covered.
- 8Dump half of the brownie chunks mixture on top of the cream cheese base, creating a layer of chopped brownies.
- 9Set the pan aside.
- 10In the same bowl, mix two cups of whipping cream and one box of vanilla pudding powder (alternatively, use a tub of frozen whipped topping).
- 11Do not let the mixture get entirely structured; it should be stabilized but still have a little free movement for spreading.
- 12Spread this pudding mixture as the next layer.
- 13Add the rest of the brownie pieces as the next layer.
- 14Add another two cups of whipping cream and another vanilla powder, mixing without overdoing it to allow for easier spreading.
- 15Spread this final layer, pressing down forcefully to compress it into shape.
- 16Refrigerate for at least one to two hours before tasting.
- 17Refrigerate for a couple more hours before serving to others.
- 18Drizzle with caramel or strawberry (or desired topping) and decorate with chocolate or candies if desired.
