Ingredients

Brownie Layers:

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Creamy Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Topping:

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder or finely grated chocolate for dusting and chocolate sauce drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C): Line your 18x13 inch half sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, whisking until smooth. Beat in the eggs, then gently mix in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
  • Bake the Brownie Layers: Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the Creamy Filling: With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.
  • Assemble the Dessert: Cut the cooled brownie into rectangles to create four layers. Spread a portion of the cream filling over the first layer. Continue layering brownie and cream filling, finishing with a cream layer on top.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to firm up the layers.
  • Finish with Topping: Dust the top layer of cream with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. Use a sharp knife to cut the dessert into squares, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and serve.
