Description

This no-fuss treat is perfect for parties or special occasions, combining the best of brownies and cheesecake in one luscious dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 boxes brownie mix, plus ingredients called for on box

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 2 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Ganache

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9″x13″ baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Prepare the brownie batter according to package instructions for both boxes, then pour the combined batter into the pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let the brownies cool completely.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth with no lumps. Add vanilla extract and kosher salt, then continue to beat until everything is well combined and silky.
  3. Prepare Ganache: Place the chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let them sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to melt. Whisk vigorously until the ganache is smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly before using.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna: Carefully remove the cooled brownies from the pan and cut them horizontally into four even thin layers. Place one brownie layer on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of ganache over the brownie, then top with about one-third of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat this layering process two more times. Place the final brownie layer on top and cover it with the remaining ganache. Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 1 hour to let it set and chill.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once chilled, decorate the top with chocolate shavings and drizzle with any reserved ganache. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are cooled completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the ganache for richer flavor.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate the lasagna longer or freeze briefly before cutting.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
  • Feel free to substitute flavored extracts or add nuts for variation.
