Ingredients

  • One box Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie mix plus ingredients on back of box (may substitute with any choice of your favorite boxed fudge brownie mix or your homemade recipe, prepared fudge-brownie style)
  • One (4 oz) German chocolate bar roughly chopped
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter cubed
  • One (8 oz package) cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • One (8 oz tub) Cool Whip thawed
  • Fresh whipped cream and chocolate curls for garnish optional but recommended

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions (for fudge-style if offered). Bake in a greased 9x13" rectangular metal baking pan for about 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
  • In a small microwaveable bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and cubed butter together in the microwave on HIGH power for 30 seconds. Stir, then melt for an additional 15 seconds or until melted and smooth.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar together with the paddle attachment until fluffy and creamy, about 1 minute. Add in the melted chocolate and mix well. Lastly, fold in the Cool Whip and mix until fully incorporated and no streaks of whipped topping remain.
  • Spread the French silk pie filling over the brownies in an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to set before garnishing with additional whipped cream and chocolate curls, if desired.
