Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the package) or homemade brownies
- Nonstick cooking spray
Raspberry Ganache
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 24 fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Prepare the brownies according to the package or your homemade recipe instructions using an 8-inch square pan. Once baked, allow them to cool completely to ensure clean cuts and proper ganache application.
- Cut Brownies: Once cooled, cut the brownies into 24 bite-sized squares for perfect portion-sized treats.
- Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream until it is just simmering—avoid boiling—to gently warm it. Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips and let the mixture stand undisturbed for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
- Stir Ganache: Add the unsalted butter to the chocolate-cream mixture and stir until the ganache is smooth, glossy, and well combined.
- Apply Ganache: Spoon or pipe the ganache evenly onto each brownie bite, creating a smooth chocolate topping.
- Add Raspberry Topping: Top each ganache-coated brownie bite with one fresh raspberry for a burst of fruity flavor and color.
- Chill to Set: Place the brownie bites in the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes or until the ganache is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired to add a refreshing contrast and a decorative finish. Serve chilled and enjoy your elegant dessert bites.
Notes
- For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate for the ganache.
- Enhance presentation by decorating with chocolate curls or a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.
- Store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to 4 days.
