Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup strawberry preserves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a small baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir until a thick batter forms and no dry streaks remain.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the center is set. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  • Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Cut the cooled brownies into bite-size squares. Spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture on each bite.
  • Warm the strawberry preserves slightly and drizzle over the top of each bite before serving.

Notes

Warm the strawberry preserves just enough to make drizzling easy, but do not let it get too thin or it will soak into the cream cheese layer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and bring them to room temperature before serving so the topping softens.
