Brownie Recipe, Strawberries, Dessert Recipes
These brownies are so soft and fudgy. With the strawberry cream frosting and the strawberry ganache on top, this recipe is pure heaven!
The trick to a nice clean layer between the frosting and the ganache is to place the brownies in the fridge after you frost them with the strawberry cream frosting. Then once the frosting layer has chilled enough that it is firm, carefully spread the strawberry ganache over the frosting. Then place the brownies back in the fridge for another 15 to 20 minutes until the ganache sets up.
Valentines Day is only a day away, so why not make a batch of these brownies for the one you love.
