Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies are the ultimate indulgence for anyone who loves a combination of rich, fudgy brownies and fresh, tangy strawberries, topped with a velvety chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the sugar and whisk until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  5. Once the brownies have cooled, arrange the halved strawberries evenly over the top.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  7. Pour the chocolate ganache over the strawberries, spreading it to cover the entire surface.
  8. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour to set the ganache. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut into squares.

Notes

  • You can swap out strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or even bananas if you prefer a different fruity twist.
  • For a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips for the ganache.
  • For an added crunch and flavor depth, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the brownie batter.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Microwave the brownies for about 10-15 seconds if you want to enjoy them warm.
