Decadent Brownie Pudding Dessert
If you are looking for something gooey, rich, and chocolaty, look no further!
With layers of brownie, chocolate pudding, cream cheese, whipped topping, and fudge, this dessert is absolutely amazing. I took this to a potluck dinner and people were seriously licking the pan clean, even after the dessert was gone. It is so simple to make and is always a big hit!

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix, (for a 9x13 pan)
  • ingredients called for on brownie mix, (oil, water, eggs)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1 package (light cream cheese works great)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip Whipped Topping, 2 (8 ounce containers), divided
  • 3 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix, 1 package
  • 3 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 package
  • 3½ cups milk
  • hot fudge or chocolate syrup
  • 1 plain chocolate candy bar, (like a Hershey's Bar)

Equipment

Instructions

  1. Mix brownie mix according to directions and bake in 9x13 inch greased and floured pan.
  2. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 container whipped topping. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled brownies.
  3. Blend puddings and milk together and carefully spread on top of the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Top with second container of whipped topping. Put chocolate shavings and chocolate syrup on top.
  5. Refrigerate until ready to serve (we also like to throw this in the freezer for a yummy summer dessert and it is sometimes easier to cut and serve when it's been in the freezer).

  5. Monica Lincecum says:
    I have been making this dessert with out the brownies for years. I just use a graham cracker crust. I decided to try your recipe tonight with the brownies, I will never make it any other way it so just yummy!!! Now I need to find what to use for my Banana cream pie. Everything is the same I just use banana pudding with sliced bananas..
    Loved this!!
  6. Krista says:
    How many people does this serve? I am taking a dessert for about 24 people so I'm thinking I should make two of them? What are your thoughts?
  7. Six Sisters says:
    It's in a 9 x 13 inch pan. So you could get 15 to 20 servings, just depends on how big you cut it. It's so yummy they will want a good sized serving! :) You would need 2 pans for 24 people and that would make for some happy friends knowing they would get 2 servings! Best of luck to you. Thanks for stopping by our blog!! -The Six Sisters
  8. Kat says:
    I was searching for cream cheese recipes and this popped up. OMG, it looks soooo amazing! I started drooling looking at it and reading the recipe. Can't believe it only got 2 stars from reviews. I still plan on trying it myself in the next day or two. It just looks --- wow! Too good to be true.
  9. Jamie says:
    Just made it. Sweet, very sweet, but yummy. You only need a small piece!I had a little trouble spreading the different colored layers on nice and clean and pretty but it all tastes the same, right? Thanks
  10. Susana says:
    Does this dessert need to be refrigerated after it’s made? (Or leftovers)
  11. Cyd says:
    Yes, this recipe should be kept in the fridge until serving, or any leftovers.
  12. Susana says:
    Thank you:)
  13. Nancy says:
    Are the two pudding mixes combined when mixing with milk?
  14. Cyd says:
    Yes, the chocolate and vanilla pudding are combined together with the milk.
  15. Shaunee Hall says:
    Do you cook the individual puddings then add milk? Or do you just mix the milk and the uncooked pudding mixes together?
  16. Cyd says:
    Mix the milk and uncooked pudding mixes together.
  17. Roz says:
    Do you set the pudding in the refrigerator before spreading it on top of the cream cheese mixture?
  18. Cyd says:
    The pudding thickens as you make it. Spread it on top of the cream cheese layer right after you mix it up.
  19. Deeana says:
    Instead of milk and pudding, I put 3 individual choc/van puddings, so much easier...
  20. Brenda P says:
    Genius!
  21. Celina says:
    This was so easy to make ! It is a beautiful dessert. Everyone @ work thought it was delicious!! It deserves 5 or more stars!! I’ll be making it again & again!!?
  22. Cyd says:
    Hi Celina. We are so glad that it worked out well and everyone at work liked it. Have a great week!!
  23. Trisha Peel says:
    Im not understanding your comment, "instead of milk & pudding"...
  24. Lisa Rodriguez says:
    Does this hold up well making it a day ahead of when you will serve it?
  25. Cyd says:
    You can make this a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge.
  26. Devan says:
    My pudding is not thickening. Did I do something wrong?
  27. Marie says:
    Instead of the pudding on top I was going to add mini chocolate chips in the cheesecake recipe n top it with fudge n mini chocolate chips
  28. lori says:
    I believe she means the individual single serve pudding cups already made and ready to eat.
  29. Jeanette Parish says:
    You might try making Blondies for the crust.....brownie with no chocolate.
  30. Rachael says:
    My family loves this recipe so much! We added strawberries to the top instead of chocolate and it was amazing!!
