Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box dry chocolate cake mix (any brand)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 2 cups chocolate milk
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 ounces)

Chocolate Ganache

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
  2. Make the Brownie Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry chocolate cake mix, eggs, and melted unsalted butter. Stir thoroughly until the batter is well blended; expect a very thick consistency. Spread this dense batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Once done, remove from the oven and allow the brownie layer to cool completely to room temperature.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the chocolate milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth and fully combined. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the pudding can thicken properly.
  4. Assemble the Pudding Layer: After the pudding has thickened, spread it evenly over the cooled brownie base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to keep this layer firm as you prepare the ganache.
  5. Make the Chocolate Ganache: Pour the semisweet chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat the heavy whipping cream just until it starts to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate thoroughly. Then, stir gently until the ganache is smooth and silky. Allow it to cool slightly for 5 minutes to thicken a bit.
  6. Finish the Brownies: Drizzle the slightly cooled ganache evenly over the pudding layer. Use a spatula to gently spread the ganache to fully cover the pudding. Refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set firmly before cutting into bars and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownie base is completely cooled before adding the pudding layer to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute whole milk for chocolate milk and add cocoa powder if chocolate milk is unavailable.
  • For a firmer ganache, chill it longer in the refrigerator before spreading.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
  • Use good quality semisweet chocolate chips to enhance the ganache flavor.
