Brownies :)

You know when it comes to desserts there is nothing I love more than brownies, but I always feel slightly awkward bringing them to special events. I was headed to a baby shower this weekend and wanted to find a way to dress them up a bit so I didn't feel like such a 5th grader. Here is the result and the recipe follows! This was so easy to make and it looked much more elegant that brownies on a plate. I hope you will try it soon...it is sure to impress!

Brownies

Mix up a box of Duncan Hines Chewey Fudge Brownies (use the directions for fudge-like brownies not cake-like). Bake according to directions then remove and let cool.

The key to cutting brownies and getting cleaner edges is a) waiting until they are throughly cooled and b) having a cup of ice water right next to the pan. Place your knife in the ice water for a few seconds then wipe it to dry and then cut your brownies.

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 tbsp powdered sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

In a bowl use a hand mixer to beat the whipping cream until it starts to thicken

When you have soft peaks add the powdered sugar and the cinnamon

Mix until you have firm peaks (when you lift out the mixer there should be two points that sit firmly on top of the cream)

To decorate:

Get several leaves of mint and slice 3 to 4 strawberries.

(If the strawberries are bigger cut them in half and then slice them.)

Place the brownies on a plate.

Top with the Cinnamon Whipped Cream (I used the Pampered Chef decorating tube)

Add a slice of strawberry and a mint leaf

Then sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top of the brownies

Let me know what you think!!! You are going to LOVE that cinnamon whipped cream :)
