Brownie Strawberry Shortcake Delightful and Simple Treat

Ingredients

• 1 batch homemade or boxed brownies (prepared and cooled)
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• to taste mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the tablespoon of sugar. Toss gently to coat, and let them sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want a smooth and creamy texture.
3. Cut the cooled brownies into squares or rectangles. Place one brownie on a serving plate, then layer it with a generous spoonful of the sugar-coated strawberries followed by a dollop of whipped cream.
4. Top with another brownie piece, followed by more strawberries and whipped cream. You can repeat this for more layers if desired.
5. Finish off with a few mint leaves on top or a final drizzle of whipped cream for presentation. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
