Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) semi-sweet chocolate
- 8 ounces (226 grams) semi-sweet chocolate (for dipping)
- ½ cup (113 grams) salted butter
Dry Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (150 grams) sugar
- ½ cup (60 grams) flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet and Fresh Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces (226 grams) strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by heating the oven to 350°F (177°C) and lining an 8×8 inch (20×20 centimeters) baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring complete coverage of the bottom and sides.
- Create the brownie base by gently melting unsalted butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform texture and allow the sugar to slightly dissolve.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, blending carefully until the batter becomes glossy and well-integrated.
- Gradually fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined to maintain a dense, rich brownie texture without overmixing.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared foil-lined pan, spreading evenly with a spatula to ensure consistent depth and smooth surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove brownies from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 45-60 minutes.
- Arrange fresh strawberry slices in an elegant, overlapping pattern across the entire cooled brownie surface.
- Melt additional chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle or pour the melted chocolate over the strawberry-covered brownies, ensuring even coverage.
- Refrigerate the decorated brownies for 60-90 minutes to set the chocolate and enhance flavor melding.
- Once chilled, slice into precise squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Carefully choose ripe, vibrant strawberries with deep red color for maximum flavor impact.
- Slice strawberries uniformly to ensure even coverage and beautiful presentation across brownie surface.
- Chill brownies after chocolate drizzle to help set quickly and create satisfying snap when biting.
- Experiment with dark, milk, or white chocolate for unique flavor variations and personal touch.
- Store finished dessert in refrigerator up to 3 days, covering loosely with plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
