How to Make Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Brownies

Ingredients for Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Brownies

Gather these delightful ingredients to create your brownies:

• 7 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
• 2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (for ganache)
• 6 tablespoons heavy cream, room temperature

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Brownies

Follow these simple steps to make your brownies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter using a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Whisk in cocoa powder and let it cool slightly.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined. Incorporate the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently stir in the flour until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few sticky crumbs.
5. Allow the brownies to cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours.
6. Once cooled, arrange the strawberry halves cut side down on top of the brownies.

Preparing Chocolate Ganache for Topping

For the creamy ganache, warm the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until just warm. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted. If necessary, return to low heat for 30 seconds to ensure it’s fully melted.

Pour the ganache evenly over the strawberries and let it set. Cut the brownies into one-inch squares when ready to serve. Enjoy the fudgy texture paired with the luscious chocolate and fresh strawberry flavors!

Tips for Perfecting Your Brownies

To elevate your chocolate-covered strawberry brownies, keep these tips in mind:

• For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies, ensuring they stay moist.
• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If necessary, you can use frozen strawberries, but they might release extra moisture.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They taste best within the first 24 hours.
