  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled brownie base.
  4. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce.
Chill and Serve

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Let the brownie base cool completely before adding the cream cheese layer to keep it from melting. For a richer flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the brownie mixture. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator or freeze for longer storage.
