Instructions

Bake the Brownies

  • Prepare brownies according to your recipe or box instructions in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan.
  • Bake until set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Cool completely. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for cleaner cuts.

Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream

  • In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to remove clumps.
  • Add 1 cup cold heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • Beat with a hand mixer until soft to medium peaks form, fluffy and pipeable.
  • Optional: fold in 1 to 2 tablespoons cooled melted chocolate for a richer, mousse-like texture.
  • Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip.

Assemble the Brownies

  • Cut cooled brownies into squares and arrange on a tray or serving board.
  • Pipe a tall swirl or generous dollop of chocolate whipped cream onto each brownie square.
  • Chop 1 cup strawberries into small pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Spoon a small mound of strawberries onto the center of each whipped cream swirl.

Make the Magic-Shell Drizzle

  • Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon coconut oil in the microwave in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each.
  • Let cool slightly so it thickens but is still pourable.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the strawberries and whipped cream.
  • Chill 10 minutes for a firmer set if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Best enjoyed within 24 hours for the freshest strawberry texture.
Tip: Make sure brownies are completely cooled before adding whipped cream. Use cold heavy cream straight from the fridge for the fluffiest results.
Tip: Pat strawberries dry with a paper towel before topping to prevent moisture from softening the whipped cream.
