Description
A rich fusion of fudgy brownies and sweet, chocolate-dipped strawberries, perfect for special occasions or indulgent treats.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
6–8 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar together until smooth and glossy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Meanwhile, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add chopped semisweet chocolate, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry slice into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined plate to set.
- Once brownies are cooled, cut into squares and top each with a chocolate-covered strawberry slice.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Ensure brownies are fully cooled before adding strawberries to avoid sogginess.
Dry strawberries thoroughly before dipping in chocolate.
Brownies can be baked a day ahead and topped with strawberries just before serving.
Use different types of chocolate (white, milk, or dark) for variation.
Add espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
