Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Brownie Base:1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks2 cups granulated sugar4 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 cup all-purpose flour1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder½ teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking powder
  • For the Strawberry Layer:1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • For the Chocolate Ganache:1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips½ cup heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base:Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until the mixture is smooth.In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined.Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  2. Add the Strawberry Layer:Once the brownies are cooled, arrange the halved strawberries cut-side down in an even layer over the top.
  3. Make the Ganache:In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  4. Assemble and Chill:Pour the ganache over the strawberries, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Chill the pan in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until the ganache is set.Once set, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Use ripe, firm strawberries for the best structure and flavor.
  • For easier slicing, dip a knife in warm water between cuts.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • You can swap the ganache with white chocolate or dark chocolate for a flavor twist.
