Delightfully moist and fruity Strawberry Brownies made from strawberry cake mix, baked to perfection and topped with a luscious strawberry cream cheese frosting. Perfect for berry lovers looking for a twist on traditional brownies, these treats combine the tangy sweetness of strawberry preserves with a creamy, rich frosting for an indulgent dessert.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix with pudding in the mix (e.g., Pillsbury)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil (80 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)

Strawberry Brownie Frosting

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (90 g)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves (40 g, Bonne Maman recommended)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons milk (22 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese (15 g, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray or lining it with foil or parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable or canola oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients until fully blended; you can use a spoon or electric mixer depending on preference.
  3. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the brownies are just done—check by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  4. Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cooling ensures the frosting adheres smoothly.
  5. Prepare Strawberry Frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, milk, and optional cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  6. Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies have fully cooled, spread the prepared strawberry frosting evenly over the top. Allow the frosting to set slightly before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • Use cream cheese in the frosting for added richness; omit if you prefer a lighter topping.
  • Bonne Maman strawberry preserves offer the best authentic flavor, but any good-quality strawberry jam can be substituted.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and tender.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting or sliding.
