Brownies
- 1 brownie mix plus ingredients called out for 8x8 or 9x9 pan
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
Chocolate Ganache
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Follow the package directions for the brownie mix to prepare the brownies in an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely before adding toppings.
- Add Strawberries: Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries in one even layer over the cooled brownies, ensuring full coverage.
- Melt Chocolate Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour Ganache: Evenly pour the melted chocolate ganache over the strawberries and brownies, smoothing it over the surface so the strawberries are fully coated.
- Set the Ganache: Place the assembled brownies in the refrigerator and chill for 20 to 30 minutes until the ganache sets firmly.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cool before adding strawberries and ganache to prevent melting.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Chocolate ganache can be customized by using dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips based on preference.
- Store finished brownies in the refrigerator to keep the ganache firm and strawberries fresh.
- Can be cut into small pieces and served as an elegant party dessert or gift option.
