These Strawberry Swirl Brownies Are the Perfect Dessert For Strawberry Lovers

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Georgetown chapter.

Both delicious and nutritious, strawberries are a widely loved fruit and definitely one of my favorites, especially during the summer. Not only are they great to eat on their own, they also pair well with many flavors making them very versatile. This recipe combines strawberries with citrus to create a new take on cheesecake swirl brownies. If you love strawberries and want to make an easy and indulgent dessert, these strawberry swirl brownies are for you! You could totally take this recipe to the next level by making the brownies from scratch, but when you need a shortcut, a box mix will still give you those amazing fudgy brownies that are the ultimate comfort food!⁠
