Brownie mix, chocolate chips and whipping cream create a chocolate lover's dreamy indulgence.
Yield: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (22.5 ounce) box Betty Crocker Original Supreme brownie mix (with chocolate syrup pouch)
- Water, oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
- 1 (10 ounce) bag raspberry-flavored or semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
- 1 (16 ounce) container Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting
- 1 tablespoon whipping cream fresh raspberries, if desired
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 13 x 9 inch pan with cooking spray or shortening (for easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan).
- Make brownies as directed on box for a 13 x 9 inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Reserve 1/4 cup chocolate chips for drizzle. In large microwavable bowl, place remaining chocolate chips and 1 1/4 cups whipping cream. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once every minute, until chocolate is melted. Stir until mixture is smooth. Refrigerate about 20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Add frosting to chocolate mixture. Beat with electric mixer on high speed 1 to 2 minutes or until well blended and soft peaks form. Spread over cooled brownies, smoothing top.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave reserved 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon whipping cream uncovered on HIGH for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring once, until mixture can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over frosting mixture. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until set.
- Cut into 12 squares; cut each square diagonally in half to make triangles. Garnish with raspberries.
Notes
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Follow High Altitude directions on brownie mix box for 13 x 9-inch pan.
Variation: Fresh strawberries or chocolate-covered coffee beans instead of the raspberries are other tasty garnishes.
