Fudge Brownies with Blackberry Sauce & Mint Cream
The toughest part about this recipe is that you have to wait to cool everything in order to set it up and eat it! The whipped cream needs to be chilled enough for it to be whipped into a nice cream.
I will say, the mint and blackberries add a great flavor to the brownies, making this an amazing after dinner dessert to finish off any great meal! Enjoy!
