Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this showstopper:

• For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1 box of brownie mix (plus the ingredients it requires)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

• For the Creamy Layer:

  • 2 cups whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• For Assembly:

  • Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
  • Extra whipped cream, for topping (because why not?)

Steps to Make Your Brownie Refrigerator Cake

1. Bake the Brownies: Start by preparing the brownie mix according to the package instructions. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in those walnuts for crunch! Bake, cool, and cut into squares.

2. Make the Creamy Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in your powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until it creates a lovely, fluffy mixture.

3. Layer It Up: In a 9×13-inch dish, place half of your brownie squares at the bottom. Spread half of the creamy mixture on top. Repeat the layering process with the remaining brownies and creamy layer.

4. Chill in the Fridge: Cover your creation with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight for the best results). This step is crucial for allowing all those flavors to meld beautifully!

5. Serve and Drizzle: Once chilled, cut your masterpiece into squares, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Voilà!

Cooking Tips

• Short on Time? You can use pre-made brownie bites or even store-bought brownies to cut corners. No one will judge you!
• Add a Twist: Feel free to mix in your favorite toppings, like crushed cookies or berries, for a personal touch!
• Don’t Rush the Chill Time: You might be tempted to dig in right away, but trust me—allowing it to sit overnight in the fridge takes it to the next level.
