Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the brownie mix in a greased baking dish for about 25-30 minutes.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
In a medium bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth, mix in powdered sugar, and fold in half of the whipped topping.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until thickened.
Spread the cream cheese layer over the cooled brownies, then pour the pudding layer on top and dollop the remaining whipped topping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Serve by slicing and garnishing with fresh berries or nuts as desired.
