Ingredients
  

Blondies:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Topping:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2-3 cups sliced strawberries

Instructions
 

Make the Blondies:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF, and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Switch to a wooden spoon, add the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until edges are firm and golden and the center jiggles slightly; do not overbake. Blondies firm up as they cool.

Make the Topping:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • With mixer on low speed, slowly pour the heavy cream into the bowl. Once all heavy cream has been added, increase the speed to high, and whip until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Spread topping evenly on top of the cooled blondies. Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow topping to set up. Just before serving, sprinkle the sliced strawberries evenly over the blondies.
