- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Bake the brownie mix according to the package instructions in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow them to cool completely in the pan.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
