Fruit

  • 6-7 strawberries, sliced
  • 1 container blueberries

Instructions

For Brownies

  • Prepare according to box. Alternatively, use your favorite brownie mix. For a 13x9 pan, I used two packages.
  • Allow to cool completely to room temperature.

For the Frosting

  • Whisk cream cheese with stand or hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk on medium until incorporated.
  • Gradually add heavy cream. I always use my splash guard.
  • Whisk until stiff peaks form.

For the Fruit

  • Wash and dry strawberries and blueberries. Slice the tops off the strawberries, then using a strawberry slicer or sharp knife, cut the strawberries into slices.

Assembly

  • Spread a desired layer of frosting over cooled brownies. Place strawberries and blueberries on frosting as shown in picture. Keep out of direct sunlight. Enjoy!
