Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. If you want a lighter alternative, Greek yogurt can replace half of the cream cheese. To save time, use a pre-made brownie mix, but ensure it’s a quality brand for the best results. For a fun twist, try adding mini marshmallows or crushed Oreos as toppings.
