Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe)
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for silkier ganache)
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract (for brownie base)
Instructions
-
Prepare and bake brownies in a parchment-lined 9×9-inch pan according to package directions or your homemade recipe.
-
Let the brownies cool completely.
-
Arrange sliced strawberries evenly over the top of the brownies, pressing gently to help them adhere.
-
Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until just simmering.
-
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Add butter if using.
-
Pour ganache over the strawberries and spread evenly with a spatula.
-
Chill brownies in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
-
Once firm, slice into 9–12 squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
-
Use white chocolate for a twist, or swirl strawberry jam under the fruit for extra sweetness.
-
Add espresso powder or chocolate chunks to the brownie batter for more depth.
-
Raspberries or blackberries can be used in place of strawberries.
-
For clean cuts, use a hot knife and wipe between slices.
