Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8 x 8 pan by lining it with parchment paper.

  2. Make the brownie batter according to the instructions on the package.

  3. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

  4. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

  5. Once cooled, place strawberries on top of the brownies.

  6. To make the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.

  7. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. When bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan, remove from heat.

  8. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes.

  9. Whisk the mixture constantly until the sauce becomes smooth.

  10. Pour the ganache over the strawberry layer on the brownies.

  11. Refrigerate the brownies until the ganache sets, which takes about 15 minutes.

  12. Once set, slice the brownies into squares and serve them cold.
