Description

Fudgy Strawberry Brownies are a delightful twist on classic brownies, made with strawberry cake mix for a rich, fruity flavor and a moist, fudgy texture. Enhanced with white chocolate chips and topped with a sweet strawberry glaze made from powdered sugar and freeze-dried strawberries, these brownies are perfect for strawberry lovers looking for a unique dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries (ground up)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the brownies out after baking. Set the pan aside.
  2. Mix Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips gently ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  3. Bake the Brownies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and press down gently to level. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.
  4. Cool the Brownies: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan placed on a wire rack. This step is important to set the texture before glazing.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, ground freeze-dried strawberries, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk or cream until a thick but spreadable glaze forms. Adjust the milk quantity to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Glaze the Brownies: Once the brownies are fully cooled, spread the strawberry glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing the brownies into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies soft and fudgy.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries provide a concentrated strawberry flavor without added moisture.
  • The white chocolate chips are optional but add a lovely sweetness.
  • Use parchment paper overhang to easily remove brownies from the pan for clean slicing.
  • Let the glaze set completely before slicing to avoid messy cuts.
