Ingredients

  • For the brownie base: 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
  • For the topping: 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced), 1 cup whipped cream or topping, 2 oz cream cheese (optional), 2 tbsp powdered sugar, crushed shortbread cookies or golden Oreos (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Add flour, salt, and baking powder (if using). Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  5. For the topping, beat cream cheese (if using) until smooth. Add whipped cream and powdered sugar; beat until fluffy.
  6. Spread topping over cooled brownies. Arrange sliced strawberries on top.
  7. Sprinkle with crushed cookies or Oreos (optional). Chill for 30–60 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the base is fully cooled before topping to prevent sliding.
  • Chill before serving to help the topping set.
  • Fresh strawberries work best for texture and appearance.
  • Add white chocolate chips or swirl in jam for a flavor twist.
