Description
Decadent fudgy brownies topped with fresh strawberry halves and blanketed in rich, glossy chocolate ganache—an irresistible treat for special occasions or anytime you crave a luxurious dessert.
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
For the Topping:
1 pint (about 1 lb) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13‑inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just mixed.
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan.
Arrange halved strawberries, cut‑side up, in a single layer on the cooled brownies.
To make the ganache: Place chocolate chips in a microwave‑safe bowl. Microwave heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour ganache over strawberries, covering fully. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Using parchment overhang, lift brownies from pan and cut into squares. Serve immediately.
