French Silk Pie Brownies
These ultra-decadent brownies start with a fudgy chocolate base and get topped with a silky, chocolate cream cheese layer and a cloud of whipped topping. Finished with chocolate curls, they channel the classic elegance of French silk pie — no crust required. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or just spoiling yourself.
