How to Make Strawberry and Cream Cheese Brownies
Prepare the Strawberry Layer:
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries break down (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the Brownie Layer:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/3 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
Then spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie.
Drop spoonfuls of the cooled strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Cut into squares and serve.
