  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) strawberry jam
  • 1 pkg (6 oz/150 mL) white chocolate squares for baking
  • 1   lemon
  • 1 container (16 oz/500 mL) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) powdered sugar

  • 2 cups (500 mL) strawberries (about 12 whole strawberries)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) blueberries
  •  Additional powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray Rectangular Baker with canola oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies; pour batter into baker, spreading evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Remove from oven; cool completely. Place jam in (1-cup) Prep Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 15-20 seconds or until melted; brush over brownie using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush.

  2. Coarsely chop white chocolate using Crinkle Cutter; place in Small Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1-2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring after each 30-second interval; set aside to cool. Juice lemon using Juicer to measure 1 tablespoon juice. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent® Decorator; completely fill with whipped topping (1 1/3 cups). In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar; whisk until smooth using Stainless Whisk. Add melted white chocolate; mix well. Fold in remaining whipped topping until well blended. Mix in lemon juice (mixture will thicken slightly).

  3. Spread filling mixture over brownie, forming a smooth surface. Coarsely chop almonds using Food Chopper; sprinkle over filling. Pipe 20 rosettes evenly over filling. Slice strawberries using Egg Slicer Plus®. Top each rosette with two strawberry slices and three blueberries. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar using Flour/Sugar Shaker. Slice into squares using Utility Knife that has been dipped in hot water.
