  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 9-12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, sliced, and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Topping

  • 6 oz dark chocolate (60% cacao or higher), for coating
  • Fresh halved strawberries, for decorating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and slice the fresh strawberries, and pat them dry thoroughly to prevent excess moisture. Melt the butter and chop chocolate chunks if using.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl until fully combined and lump-free.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. Fold Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently just until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Strawberries and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly without breaking up the berries too much.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center emerges with a few moist crumbs, ensuring a fudgy texture.
  7. Create the Chocolate Covered Topping: Allow the brownies to cool slightly. Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, then drizzle or spread it evenly over the top. Press a few halved strawberries gently onto the chocolate before it sets for the signature appearance.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother mixing and more uniform batter.
  • Don’t overbake; check a few minutes early to maintain fudginess.
  • Pat dry strawberries carefully to avoid excess moisture affecting texture.
  • Chill the batter in the fridge for 30 minutes to deepen chocolate flavor, if desired.
  • Choose high quality chocolate for the topping to ensure smoothness and rich taste.
