Description

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies are a luscious dessert combining fudgy homemade brownies with fresh halved strawberries and a smooth chocolate ganache topping. The rich chocolate base pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy strawberries, creating an indulgent treat that is not overly sweet and ideal for romantic occasions, celebrations, or any dessert craving.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 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

For the Topping:

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the brownies out later.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the sugar and whisk until combined. Then add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined without overmixing.
  3. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  4. Arrange Strawberries: Once brownies have cooled, evenly arrange the halved strawberries across the top to create a fresh fruity layer.
  5. Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Assemble the Dessert: Pour the warm ganache over the strawberries, spreading it carefully to cover the entire surface, sealing in the fruit.
  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour to let the ganache set firmly. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut into squares for serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding strawberries to prevent them from wilting.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If strawberries are not preferred, the ganache-topped brownies alone are delicious.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor contrast.
