Required Kitchen Tools

Before you get started, make sure you have the following kitchen tools handy:

9×13-inch baking dish: This size dish is ideal for this recipe, as it holds all the layers and helps with even baking.
Mixing bowls: For combining ingredients for the brownies, pudding, and cream layers.
Electric mixer or whisk: You’ll need this to beat the cream cheese and make the pudding layers smooth and fluffy.
Spatula: For spreading the layers evenly and finishing off the dish.
Measuring cups and spoons: Precision is important, so make sure you have your measuring tools ready.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this fabulous dessert:

Brownie Layer

1 box brownie mix (plus the ingredients required on the box for preparation)
2 cups heavy cream: This will be used to create a rich, creamy layer in the dessert.

Pudding and Cream Cheese Layer

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened: Cream cheese helps create a smooth, luscious base for the pudding layer.
1 cup powdered sugar: Adds the perfect sweetness to balance out the tangy cream cheese.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For that added depth of flavor in the cream cheese layer.
1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix: Instant pudding is a quick way to add a velvety chocolate layer.
2 cups milk: Essential for preparing the pudding mix, making it creamy and thick.
1 1/2 cups Cool Whip: This lightens up the creamy layer and adds a fluffy texture.

Topping

1 cup mini chocolate chips: These little chips add some extra chocolatey goodness to the top of your dessert.
Rainbow sprinkles: Adds a playful pop of color and makes this dessert extra fun to serve.

Variations for Cosmic Brownie Delight

Add a Nutty Twist: Top the brownie layer with chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans before adding the pudding layer for an added crunch.
Use Different Pudding Flavors: Swap the chocolate pudding for other flavors like vanilla, butterscotch, or even banana pudding for a twist.
Add More Toppings: For extra texture, add crushed Oreos, mini marshmallows, or even crushed candy bars as toppings.
Go Gluten-Free: If you need a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free brownie mix, and the rest of the recipe should be safe for gluten-free diets.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownie Layer

Start by preheating your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. You’ll be baking your brownies in a 9×13-inch baking dish, so grease the dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Follow the brownie mix directions, mixing the required ingredients, and bake according to the package instructions.

Once the brownies are done, allow them to cool completely in the pan. This step is crucial because you don’t want the brownie layer to melt the pudding layer when you begin assembling.

2. Make the Cream Cheese and Pudding Layer

While the brownies are cooling, it’s time to make the delicious, creamy layer that will go on top of them.

Beat the Cream Cheese:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer (or whisk) until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.

Prepare the Pudding:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until the pudding starts to thicken. This usually takes about 2 minutes.

Combine the Layers:

Once the pudding has thickened, fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture. The Cool Whip will help to lighten up the pudding, giving the layer a fluffy, airy texture. Mix until fully combined.

Layer the Cream Cheese and Pudding Mixture:

Once the brownies are cool, spread a layer of the cream cheese and pudding mixture evenly over the brownie layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out, making sure to cover the entire surface.

3. Top with Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles

Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the top of the dessert. Then, finish off by adding a generous amount of rainbow sprinkles for that cosmic, festive vibe.

4. Refrigerate and Serve

Cover the Cosmic Brownie Delight with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let all the flavors meld together and for the dessert to set properly. Once chilled, it’s ready to serve!
