Ingredients
1 pan fudgy brownies
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup chocolate ganache or chocolate syrup
1/4 cup crushed nuts or chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
1. Bake a pan of fudgy brownies and let them cool completely. Then refrigerate for 30 minutes for easier slicing.
2. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
3. Cut chilled brownies into squares. In a pan, layer brownies, whipped cream, and a drizzle of ganache or syrup.
4. Repeat the layers, finishing with whipped cream on top.
5. Cover and refrigerate overnight to let layers meld together.
6. Before serving, top with additional ganache, nuts, or chocolate shavings. Serve chilled.
Notes
Chilling the brownies before slicing makes cleaner layers.
Whip cream just to soft peaks for the best spreadable texture.
Let it rest overnight for maximum flavor and texture infusion.
