Preparation Steps

  4. Mix in sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  5. Mix in eggs and mashed banana.
  6. Beat in flour and cocoa powder until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake brownies for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and allow brownies to completely cool before adding frosting.
  10. While brownies are cooling, use an electric mixer to beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, strawberry jam and milk until smooth and creamy.
  11. Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Serve with whipped cream, chopped walnuts and a cherry on top if desired.

Notes

For best results, do not skip the cooling step—this ensures the frosting sets properly.
