Strawberry Brownie Shortcake

 Won't you join me for some Berry Zinger tea and a strawberry brownie shortcake?  It is hot here in Texas, and you can choose your tea iced, if you'd like.


I'm using a favorite teacup that was gifted to me from a dear friend.  The poppy design looks pretty with the strawberries, don't you think?



This recipe comes from Duncan Hines and I opted to make individual brownies in muffin pans, instead of the round cake pans.  Make sure to use a baking spray that has the flour and oil in it to coat the muffin pans, if you decide to make the individual ones.  If you have a crowd, the large one would be perfect.  Another idea would be to make a trifle and just crumble the brownies,  and alternate with the filling and strawberries. 

  • 1 package of brownies for a 9x13" pan
  • 1 (3.5 oz.) package vanilla instant pudding and pie filling (I used  a box of sugar-free)
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 2 cups frozen non-dairy whipped topping
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of two 9" round cake pans.
  2. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies; pour into prepared pans.
  3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until top springs back when touched. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely. (My brownies in the muffin pans baked in about 22 minutes)
  4. Meanwhile, stir pudding mix and milk in medium bowl; mix well. Chill 5 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Chill. To serve, place one brownie layer on plate. Top with half each of pudding mixture and strawberries. Repeat. Garnish as desired.

  6. I have a teacup with bright red poppies on it too, such a cheery one to use. Your red and white tea table looks very welcoming outside and a great idea to make muffin sized brownies. I wouldn't mind trying them in my mini muffin pans.

    thanks for sharing!

  27. I love this recipe! I just discovered some really good sugar free brownies a few weeks ago (mix) and I am positive that I could do this whole thing with low sugar. (And therefore, I could snarf it in without as much guilt.)

    As for that teacup, it is my favorite one that you have ever shown. I would have loved that the year that I dubbed my color "poppy".
