Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 18 ounces brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on box: typically eggs, oil, and water)

Pudding Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 5.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk

Ganache and Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup rainbow chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Layer: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with the eggs, oil, and water as directed on the package. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, ensuring an even layer, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  2. Make the Pudding Layer: While the brownies are cooling, start on the pudding layer. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until it begins to thicken. Gently fold the whipped cream cheese into the pudding using the mixer on low speed until fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pan for 30 minutes to help set the layer.
  3. Prepare the Ganache: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir well. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the ganache is smooth, creamy, and pourable. Immediately pour the ganache over the pudding layer and carefully spread it evenly using an offset spatula. Sprinkle the rainbow chocolate chips on top for a festive finish.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to firm up and flavors to meld. Once chilled, slice the Cosmic Brownie Lush into squares and serve for a rich, multi-textured chocolate treat that delights every time.

Notes

  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the pudding layer to prevent melting and separation.
  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother pudding layer.
  • If you don’t have rainbow chocolate chips, regular mini chocolate chips or sprinkles can be substituted.
  • For best results, prepare the dessert a day ahead to let all layers fully set and flavors develop.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
