Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

  • 12–15 fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
  • 3/4 cup dark or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and thoroughly dry fresh strawberries. Melt the chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, place on parchment paper, and allow them to set in the fridge while you prepare the brownie batter.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of sea salt if using. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly combined for a consistent batter.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This creates a creamy base that delivers moist, fudgy brownies.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract to infuse warmth into the chocolate batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the top is set but a toothpick inserted in the center still has a few moist crumbs.
  7. Top with Chocolate Covered Strawberries: Once brownies have cooled completely, arrange the prepared chocolate-covered strawberries on top. Chill briefly to set the toppings and bring everything together in one scrumptious dessert.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients to help the batter mix evenly and improve texture.
  • Don’t overbake: remove brownies when edges are set but center is still moist for perfect fudginess.
  • Dry strawberries thoroughly to prevent chocolate from slipping off during dipping.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper to make removing brownies effortless and protect their delicate edges.
  • Chill dipped strawberries quickly to speed up chocolate setting and retain the glossy finish.
