In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and light.

Assemble The Brownie Lasagna

- Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over the bottom brownie layer. Top with the second brownie layer and spread another layer of frosting.
- Finally, add the top brownie layer and frost the entire top of the lasagna.

Notes
- Make sure the brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly over each brownie layer.
- For a smooth frosting, ensure your cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing.
- For easier slicing, allow the assembled Brownie Lasagna to chill for 1 - 2 hours to allow the frosting to set firm.
