BROWNIE & STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

Here is a fabulous idea from Betty Crocker. I think it would be a yummy, easy dessert to serve during a summer party, Bridal shower, etc. Nestled between the brownie layers is White Chocolate pudding, then topped with strawberries. You could even drizzle Hot Fudge sauce over the top, to make it even fancier. This would be quick, easy and delicious! If you have a favorite home-made brownie, then just fancy them up by following these simple steps.

YOU WILL NEED:

1 box (1 lb 6.5 oz) Betty Crocker Original Supreme brownie mix (with chocolate syrup pouch)
 Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
 2 1/2 cups milk
 2 boxes (4-serving size each) white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
 1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream
 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, chocolate syrup, water, oil and eggs with spoon until well blended. Spread batter in pan.

2. Bake 23 to 25 minutes or until brownie springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat milk and pudding mixes with wire whisk until thickened; set aside. In medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into pudding mixture until well combined. Cover; refrigerate until serving.

4. Cut brownies into 6 rows by 4 rows, making 24 squares. Place 1 brownie square on each individual dessert plate; top each square with 1/4 cup pudding mixture and 2 tablespoons strawberries
