🍫 Brownie Refrigerator Cake

Rich fudgy brownie, creamy chocolate filling, fluffy chocolate whipped cream, and plenty of chocolate curls make this chilled dessert hard to resist.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

• 1 box fudge brownie mix
• Eggs, oil, and water called for on the box
• ½ tsp espresso powder, optional

Chocolate Cream Layer

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Chocolate Whipped Topping

• 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

• ½ cup chocolate frosting or ganache
• Chocolate curls or shaved chocolate

Directions

1. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, adding espresso powder if desired. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and cool completely.
2. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and cocoa powder, then whip until thick and fluffy.
3. Spread the chocolate cream evenly over the cooled brownie.
4. Whip the topping ingredients until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe over the chocolate cream layer.
5. Add dollops of chocolate frosting or ganache and generously scatter chocolate curls over the top.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the layers become cold and firm.
7. Slice straight from the refrigerator and serve chilled.

Tip: For extra-rich slices, drizzle with warm chocolate ganache just before serving. 🍫
