Delight in these decadent Chocolate Strawberry Brownies that combine rich, fudgy brownie base with fresh strawberries and a luscious chocolate ganache topping. This easy-to-make recipe uses store-bought brownie mix enhanced with fresh fruit and a silky homemade ganache, perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings with a fruity twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box Triple Chunk Brownie mix (includes oil, eggs, and water as specified on the box)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Ganache

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Decoration

  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping and decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Brownie Mixture: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box, incorporating the required oil, eggs, and water. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh strawberries into the brownie batter to infuse fruity bursts into the brownies.
  3. Bake Brownies: Pour the strawberry-infused brownie batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely once baked.
  4. Prepare Ganache: Fill a small pot with water about one-quarter full and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring it does not touch the water, to create a double boiler. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream to the bowl. Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and let the ganache cool slightly.
  5. Reserve Ganache for Decoration: Scoop a portion of the ganache into a piping bag or a small resealable bag to use later for drizzling on top of the brownies.
  6. Decorate with Strawberries: Arrange sliced strawberries over the cooled brownies evenly to create a fresh, colorful layer.
  7. Apply Ganache Layer: Spread the remaining ganache evenly over the strawberries on the brownies. Let the ganache set and cool completely to allow it to firm up.
  8. Final Decoration: Add more sliced strawberries on top of the ganache layer for extra fruitiness and freshness. Drizzle the reserved ganache over the strawberry topping to finish the presentation.
  9. Serve: Once decorated and set, cut the brownies into bars and serve to enjoy the rich combination of chocolate and strawberries.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen strawberries may release too much liquid.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before spreading to avoid melting the strawberries or causing the brownies to become soggy.
  • The baking time can vary based on your oven; test doneness with a toothpick eaten clean.
  • If desired, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer ganache.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the ganache set and strawberries fresh.
