Notes
- Homemade brownies can be used instead of a mix—just ensure they are fully cooled.
- For homemade whipped cream, beat 1 cup heavy cream + 2 tbsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Best enjoyed chilled, no reheating required!
