  7. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently.
  8. Layer the dessert in a serving dish with brownie layers and cream filling, finishing with a layer of cream.
  9. Add toppings like chocolate shavings before chilling.
  10. Chill the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
