Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix plus required eggs, oil, and water prepared according to package directions
Toppings
- 1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for ganache
- 1/2 cup heavy cream room temperature or chilled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix instructions and prepare the baking dish as recommended; pour and spread the prepared brownie batter into the dish.
- Bake the brownies per package directions until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs for a fudgy texture; cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, arrange the halved strawberries over the surface of the brownies in a single layer.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth to form the ganache.
- Pour the warm ganache over the arranged strawberries, spreading gently with a spatula to fill gaps and coat the berries.
- Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set; slice into squares and serve.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; strawberries will keep best when chilled.
