Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (including ingredients listed on box: eggs, oil, water)
Topping
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan, and prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, mixing all required ingredients. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, usually around 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Arrange Strawberries: Once the brownies are fully cooled, evenly arrange the sliced fresh strawberries over the top, creating a vibrant and fresh layer.
- Make Chocolate Ganache: In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract to add a depth of flavor.
- Apply Ganache: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the strawberry layer, spreading gently to cover all the fruit and brownies completely.
- Chill: Refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate ganache topping has fully set and hardened.
- Serve: Slice into 16 squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for a decadent treat.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, drizzle white chocolate over the top before chilling for a pretty contrast and added sweetness.
- Store brownies in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days to maintain freshness and texture.
