- Let it cool before adding the layers – It’s important to let the brownies cool completely before adding the cheesecake filling and chocolate ganache layers. This will prevent the layers from melting or sliding off.
- Use a long baking dish – Using a long baking dish will help you create even layers and make the dessert look more visually appealing.
- Top with your favorite toppings – Once you’ve assembled your Brownie Lasagna, you can get creative with toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or chopped nuts. This will add some extra flavor and make your dessert even more delicious.
