👩🍳 How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies
1. Prep the Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
2. Make the Brownie Batter:
Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
3. Bake:
Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan.
4. Add the Strawberries:
Once cooled, layer the halved strawberries evenly across the top of the brownies.
5. Make the Ganache:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
6. Finish & Chill:
Pour the ganache over the strawberries, spreading it gently to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
7. Slice & Serve:
Use the parchment to lift the brownies from the pan. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Tip: Not a fan of strawberries? You can skip them and just go with the ganache topping—still absolutely divine.
