Description
These chocolate strawberry brownies are rich, fudgy, and balanced with bursts of fresh strawberry. The deep cocoa flavor pairs perfectly with juicy fruit, making them both indulgent and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 170 g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 100 g (1/2 cup, packed) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 75 g (3/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 95 g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 150 g (3/4 cup) dark chocolate chips
- 200 g (1 1/2 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 23 x 23 cm (9 x 9 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in granulated and brown sugar until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in dark chocolate chips, then gently fold in chopped strawberries.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into 12 brownies.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture.
- For extra gooey brownies, underbake by 2–3 minutes.
- Chill before slicing for clean edges.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture.
