- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with additional pecans, caramel, and/or mini chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
- Don't underbake the brownies. This isn't a situation you want to have underdone or overly fudgy brownies.
- Make sure the brownies are completely cool when you cut them. If they are warm when you layer them with the whipped cream, the whipped cream will melt.
- While homemade whipped cream is absolutely the best, you could use store bought whipped topping. If you do that, I would go for Cool Whip or another stabilized whipped cream over the whipped cream in a can.
