Description

A no-bake chocolate dream made from layers of fudgy Brownie Refrigerator Cake, silky chocolate pudding, and fluffy cream cheese whipped topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch (9×13 in) Fudgy brownies (Homemade or 16 oz store-bought, cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 boxes (3.9 oz each) Instant chocolate pudding mix (Use cook-and-serve if preferred, cooled)
  • 4 cups Whole milk (Cold)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (Optional for depth)
  • 8 oz Cream cheese (Softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Heavy whipping cream (Cold)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt (Enhances flavor)
  • 1 cup Mini chocolate chips (Adds crunch)
  • ½ cup Chocolate shavings
  • ½ cup Crushed Oreos
  • ¼ cup Hot fudge sauce (For drizzling)
  • Extra whipped cream (For serving)

Instructions

  1. Cut brownies into 1-inch cubes. Arrange half in the bottom of a 9×13 dish, pressing gently without flattening.
  2. Whisk pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes until thickened. Pour half of the pudding over the brownie layer and spread evenly.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with vanilla and salt.
  4. Spread half of the cream mixture over pudding. Add remaining brownie pieces, pour over the rest of the pudding, and finish with remaining cream layer.
  5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap touching the surface and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until set and chilled through.
  6. Top with chocolate chips, shavings, or drizzle with fudge sauce. Cut into squares and serve cold.
