No bake Brownies & Cream
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Prepare the Ghirardelli brownie mix according to box directions, substituting milk or coffee for water, and adding a little vanilla extract and espresso powder (measured with your heart).
- 2Set the prepared brownies aside.
- 3In a bowl, mix one block of softened cream cheese and one cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
- 4Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract 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 evenly across the bottom of a pan.
- 8Take half of the prepared brownie chunks and spread them on top of the cream cheese base.
- 9Set the pan aside.
- 10In the same bowl, combine two cups of whipping cream and one box of vanilla pudding powder (or use a tub of frozen whipped topping).
- 11Mix until stabilized but still with a little free movement for easier spreading.
- 12Spread this pudding mixture as the next layer.
- 13Add the rest of the brownie pieces as the subsequent layer.
- 14Add another two cups of whipping cream and another vanilla powder to the bowl.
- 15Mix this new pudding layer not too long to allow for easier spreading.
- 16Spread this final pudding layer, pressing down forcefully to compress it into shape.
- 17Refrigerate the dessert for at least one to two hours before tasting.
- 18Before serving to others, refrigerate for a couple more hours.
- 19Drizzle with strawberry (or caramel, or any desired topping) and decorate with chocolate or candies if desired.

- Press down forcefully when spreading the layers to compress it into serving-size pieces.
- Refrigerate for at least one to two hours before serving.
- Drizzle with caramel, strawberry, or decorate with chocolate/candies, or leave as is.
