Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box of your favorite brownie mix (plus required ingredients listed on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water)
Chocolate Ganache
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Topping
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
Instructions
- Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions by combining the brownie mix with required ingredients such as eggs, oil, and water.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake according to the package instructions. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Once done, allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack while still in the pan.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: In a large microwave-safe measuring cup, heat the heavy cream and butter together for 1-2 minutes until steamy but not boiling. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips and let sit for 4-5 minutes to melt, then whisk until smooth and glossy. If needed, microwave in 15-second bursts until fully melted and combined.
- Assemble the brownies: Once cooled, arrange the hulled fresh strawberries evenly over the brownies. Pour the chocolate ganache over the strawberries and spread gently to cover.
- Chill and serve: Place the pan in the fridge for 2-3 hours to allow the ganache to set firmly. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water to slice the brownies cleanly and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a warmed knife to slice the brownies after chilling to get clean cuts without cracking the ganache.
- Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the strawberries and ganache to prevent melting.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips depending on your preference.
- Fresh strawberries are best for the topping to provide a juicy contrast to the rich chocolate.
