Description
Indulge in rich, fudgy brownies infused with chocolate, topped with fresh strawberries and silky ganache for a delightful dessert experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the melted butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually incorporate this into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
- Fold in the sliced strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the ganache by bringing heavy cream to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.
- Once the brownies are cooled, carefully pour the ganache over the top and allow it to set before slicing into squares.
Notes
Tips: Use unsalted butter for better control over salt, and consider substitutions for dietary preferences. Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
