Ingredients
-
250g unsalted butter, melted (1 cup)
-
200g semisweet chocolate, chopped (7.5 oz)
-
4 large eggs, room temperature
-
360g caster sugar (1 1/2 cups)
-
65g flour (1/2 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and caster sugar until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Slowly pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar, stirring constantly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries.
-
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
-
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
-
Optional: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
-
For a more intense strawberry flavor, use freeze-dried strawberries in the batter in addition to fresh ones.
-
These brownies can be served warm or at room temperature.
-
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
