Notes
If you use a 9x13 baking dish the brownies will be thinner and take less time to cook.
These strawberry cheesecake brownies are thick and fudgy and so sweet and delicious. We cut them into 9 - 2.5”x2.5” pieces, but 16 smaller pieces would be great for serving with other treats.
Adding some of the strawberry gelatin into the brownie batter gives them a punch of extra flavor and also helps to make them extra chewy/fudgy.
