Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 box Brownie mix (homemade or box) Your favorite brownie mix works best.
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries, chopped Ensure strawberries are ripe; dab dry before adding.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Optional add for a richer texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Or use egg replacers if desired.
Ganache Topping
  • 1 cup Chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet), chopped Good quality chocolate is essential for flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream Can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free option.

Method
 

Preparing the Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven according to brownie mix instructions and prepare the baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix your brownie base ingredients as directed on the package or your recipe.
  3. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently into the brownie batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for the suggested time, checking for doneness about 5 minutes early.
  5. Allow brownies to cool completely before topping.
Making the Ganache
  1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until steaming but not boiling.
  2. Remove from heat and add in chopped chocolate, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Let the ganache thicken at room temperature for a glossy finish.
Assembling the Dish
  1. Once brownies are cooled, pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
  2. Optionally, decorate with additional strawberries or freeze-dried strawberries.
  3. Chill in the fridge for easier slicing.

Notes

Store in the fridge due to fresh strawberries; eat within two days for best flavor. Chilling brownies before cutting helps achieve clean slices.
