Strawberry Cream Filled Brownie Cups

By srumbel

If you like rich, fudgy, easy brownies – make these! You will love them!

The strawberry cream is luscious. Ugh. It’s almost like a super light cheesecake. Cool, creamy, fruity, and not too sweet. It’s the perfect balance with the rich chocolate brownie!
