Description
Decadent brownies layered with fresh strawberries and topped with a smooth chocolate ganache, perfect for special occasions or an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 1 box fudgy brownie mix (or ingredients for homemade brownie batter)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for glossy ganache)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare brownie batter according to package directions or a homemade recipe.
- Grease a baking dish and spread half of the brownie batter evenly.
- Layer sliced strawberries over the batter, pressing slightly into the mixture.
- Pour remaining batter over the strawberries and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- While brownies cool, heat heavy cream until just simmering and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Stir in butter and vanilla extract if using, and mix until glossy.
- Drizzle ganache over cooled brownies and garnish with additional fresh strawberry slices.
- Chill slightly to set ganache, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Pat strawberries dry before layering to prevent soggy brownies.
- Brownies can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer ganache if preferred.
- Store in the refrigerator due to fresh fruit topping.
