Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 Box Brownie Mix (16.3 ounces & not prepared)
- 1 egg
- 5 Tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup Whole milk
French Silk Layer:
- 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese (@ room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate (can use chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 carton (8 ounce) Whipped Topping
Top Layer:
- 1 carton (8 ounce) whipped topping or 1 carton (8 ounce) real cream (whipped and sweetened)
- Garnish with mini chocolate chips or grated chocolate pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" X 13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
Brownies:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg, melted butter, and milk; whisk until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center of the brownies come out clean when checked with a wooden pick or cake tester.
- Then remove the brownies from the oven and cool them.
French Silk Layer:
- In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and vanilla extract, using an electric mixer, making it nice and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and mix again until nice and smooth.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate and butter; turn the microwave on for 30 second intervals until the mixture has melted and you can combine the chocolate and butter. To make sure that I do not over cook my chocolate, I like to melt them on power level 5. Make sure you stir the mixture very well each time.
- Make sure the chocolate mixture isn't too hot, then add it to the cream cheese mixture. Combine the two mixtures, then add the whipped topping.
- Spread this mixture over your brownies that have cooled.
Top Layer:
- Next add an additional tub of whipped topping or real whipping cream that has been sweetened. (I use 8 ounces of whipping cream and when it is thickened, not too much though, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup sugar or powdered sugar to prepare real cream).
- Garnish as desired.
