Brownie Pudding Dessert is a decadent layered dessert that starts with the perfect brownie, topped with a cream cheese and chocolate pudding layer, and finished off with cool whip and more chocolate! It is the ultimate chocolate lover’s dessert, for sure. Try my for another layered, chocolatey dessert.
There are four delicious parts to this recipe–the brownies, cream cheese layer, pudding, and toppings.
: When I am making brownies in a 9×13-inch pan this is my go-to recipe.
This is the recipe I also use for my French Silk Brownies.
Cream Cheese Layer: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. If you forgot to take out the cream cheese to get it to room temperature (which usually takes about 30 minutes), unwrap the cream cheese and place it in a microwave-safe container, heating it up in 15-second increments until the edges are softened.
Pudding: You will need a box of chocolate instant pudding mix.
: Whipped cream is added to the cream cheese layer and the topping. For the creamiest whipped topping, make your own!
Toppings: Make homemade to drizzle on top, or use store-bought hot fudge. And, I can show you how to make your own .
Once all the parts of this dessert have been made, it’s time to get it assembled and chilled so everyone can enjoy it! (Remember to let the brownies cool before adding the layers.)
Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled brownies.Carefully spread the chocolate pudding on top of the cream cheese layer.Top with more cool whip, chocolate swirls, and chocolate syrup. Refrigerate the dessert for about an hour, or until ready to serve.
To store brownie pudding dessert, first, cover the container. Then, store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Sure! However, if you do freeze brownie pudding dessert, I recommend freezing it without the toppings.
(You can add those when ready to serve.) Wrap the dessert in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It will last up to 3 months in the freezer, but the texture may be affected the longer the dessert is frozen. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight when ready to enjoy.
