Ingredients
-
250g Unsalted butter, melted (1 cup)
-
200g Semisweet chocolate (7.5 oz)
-
4 Eggs, room temperature
-
360g Caster sugar (1 ½ cups)
-
65g Flour (½ cup)
-
80g Cocoa powder (1 cup), dutch processed
-
1 tsp Baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
6–8 Strawberries, thinly sliced
-
Freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for sprinkling)
-
Melted dark chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan (around 8×8 inches).
-
In a large bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate together until smooth. You can do this in the microwave or using a double boiler.
-
Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Stir in the caster sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
-
Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries, being careful not to crush them.
-
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
-
Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
-
Optionally, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the brownies and sprinkle freeze-dried strawberries on top for added flavor and presentation.
-
Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
-
Make sure to allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them to ensure clean edges.
-
If you prefer a more intense strawberry flavor, add some freeze-dried strawberries into the batter as well.
