Ingredients

1 brownie mix plus ingredients called out for 8×8 or 9×9 pan
1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare brownies according to package directions and let cool completely in the pan.
Step 2: Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cooled brownies in one even layer.
Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Step 4: Pour the melted chocolate ganache evenly over the strawberry-topped brownies, spreading it to cover all strawberries.
Step 5: Refrigerate the brownies for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before cutting and serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh, firm strawberries to avoid excess moisture that could weaken the ganache.
For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped nuts over the ganache before refrigerating.
Substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate depending on your preference.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, you can let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Reheat gently in short bursts in the microwave if desired.

How to Serve

The image shows two stacked brownies with three clear layers each. The bottom layer is a dark, rich, and moist chocolate brownie base with a slightly crumbly texture. The middle layer has a few slices of bright red strawberries, partially embedded in the brownie, adding a fresh and juicy contrast. The top layer is a thick, smooth, and glossy chocolate ganache with a deep brown color. The brownies are placed on a white marbled surface, and more brownies are blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

Fresh strawberries are best as frozen ones release extra moisture, which can make the ganache runny and affect the brownie texture.

How do I make the chocolate ganache smooth and glossy?

Heat the chocolate and cream slowly in short intervals, stirring well after each. This prevents overheating and seizing, resulting in a perfectly smooth and shiny ganache.
