INGREDIENTS

• ¼ cup dark chocolate, melted (to pour on top)
• ½ cup strawberry preserves
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced and hulled
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 8

When the chocolate drizzle hardens, chop up the brownies. Enjoy ’em right away!

Step 7

Let the brownies rest in their pan until totally cool. Set on a cooling rack. Pour that melted chocolate all over the top when they’ve chilled.

Step 6

Bake your brownies for about 35 to 40 minutes. Take them out when a toothpick poked in the middle comes out a little sticky, not dry.

Step 5

Spread half your batter in the pan. Pile strawberry slices over it, spoon on preserves, then finish by carefully covering with what’s left. Make sure the berry layer is hidden.

Step 4

Drop in the chocolate chips and gently mix.

Step 3

Sift flour, cocoa, and salt together, then fold them into your wet mixture till just mixed. Don’t overdo it.

Step 2

Stir melted butter and sugar in a big bowl, mix in eggs one after another, blending each time. Mix in vanilla near the end.

Step 1

Get your oven heating to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 pan with parchment, letting some stick out the sides so you can pull it out easy.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Tuck the brownies inside a tight container. They’ll keep on the counter for 3 days, or chill in the fridge for a week. Want them warm? Heat ’em up! Love them cold? That works, too.
• Scoop vanilla ice cream and add some extra berry slices for a fancier treat.

Helpful Notes

• Melt the butter but let it cool for a few minutes first. If it’s too hot, your eggs will get chunky.
• If you want super deep flavor, use both milk and dark chocolate chips together.

What Pro Chefs Suggest

• Try splashing some balsamic glaze over the strawberries before you layer them. It gives a nice tangy pop that makes the berries even tastier.

FAQs

Is it okay to use frozen strawberries?

Yep, frozen works—just thaw them out and drain before adding so your brownies don’t get mushy.

No strawberry preserves around?

Any berry jam is fine, or grab a chocolate spread if you want things extra chocolatey.

Brownies not fudgy enough?

Want them gooier? Cut back the baking time by five minutes and check with a toothpick. You’re looking for wet crumbs, not a dry stick.
