Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box strawberry cake mix
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Frosting Layer
- 1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese, room temperature
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted salted butter, heavy cream, and the large egg. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth batter. Then, fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Make the Frosting: While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting by beating the room temperature cream cheese with powdered sugar and sour cream in a mixing bowl. Whip the ingredients together until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
- Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies have fully cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the brownie layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Chill and Serve: Place the frosted brownies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the frosting before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy this creamy, fruity dessert chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting or running of the cream cheese layer.
- For added texture, you can sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or extra white chocolate chips on top of the frosting before chilling.
- Store leftover brownies covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To soften cream cheese quickly, leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.
