- microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 package Brownie Mix for an 8"x8" baking dish
- 1 lb Strawberries stems removed, cut in half
Chocolate Ganache
- 1.5 cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips or use part dark chocolate
- 0.75 cup Heavy Cream up to 1 cup if more is needed
Instructions
Brownie Preparation
- In an 8"x8" baking dish, prepare brownies according to package directions. Let them cool completely.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them in half lengthwise.
- Arrange the strawberries in a single layer on top of the brownie layer, seed side up.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and the heavy cream. Microwave for 25 seconds.
- Then start stirring slowly. Microwave again for 20 seconds. Stir again, for at least 20 seconds.
- The heat will keep melting the chocolate as you stir. It is important to heat the mixture gradually, and not to get it too hot!
- If the chocolate chips are still chunky, microwave again for another 15 seconds. Then stir again.
- Repeat if necessary. Keep stirring until the ganache becomes smooth, and turns dark and shiny/glossy. Then it is ready.
Finish
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the strawberries evenly, covering all of them.
- Chill the brownies in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, or until ganache has set. It will not be solid, but will firm up.
- Slice and serve within a day. These won't last more than a day as the berries release moisture that will make the brownies wet.
Notes
This also works with raspberries and blueberries.
