Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 oz high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped and divided
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped

Chocolate Coating

  • 4 oz high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Measure out all other ingredients to have everything ready for mixing.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the unsalted butter with half of the chopped chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy to incorporate air and moisture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture. Then, gently sift in flour and salt, folding until just combined to maintain a fudgy texture. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Lightly coat chopped strawberries with a small amount of flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter to distribute evenly without crushing.
  6. Bake Until Set: Pour the batter into a parchment-lined or greased baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, until edges are set but center remains fudgy.
  7. Add Chocolate Coating: Allow brownies to cool completely. Melt the remaining chopped chocolate and spread it evenly on top. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator to set the chocolate before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Do not overbake; check a few minutes before the suggested time to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
  • Fold strawberries gently to avoid releasing excess juice into the batter.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
  • Allow coated brownies to chill before slicing to achieve neat, clean cuts.
