How to make Olive Garden chocolate brownie lasagna
- Step 1. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13 pan by spraying with cooking spray. You can also line the pan with parchment paper.

Step 3. Pour all of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake and then allow to cool.

Step 5. Remove the brownies from the pan.
Step 6. Carefully cut the fudge brownie in half widthwise. Then cut each thick layer in half again horizontally to make 4 even pieces.
Step 7. Place one piece of the brownie on a platter.
Step 8. Top the first layer with a portion of the cream cheese mixture.
Step 9. Top with brownie.
Step 10. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top layer. Put the cake in the freezer to allow the layers to set.
