Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until glossy. Add the eggs and vanilla, blending until smooth.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt until a thick brownie batter forms. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until the center is set. Let cool completely before adding layers.
Filling Preparation
- For the filling, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping gently.
- Spread the cream filling over the cooled brownie base and chill in the refrigerator.
Topping Preparation
- For the topping, heat heavy cream and butter in a saucepan. Pour over chocolate chips, letting them sit for 2 minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate topping over the cream layer and let chill for at least 3 hours before slicing into bars.
Notes
For optimal freshness, store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week. To enhance flavors, consider adding a dash of espresso powder to the brownie batter.
