Chocolate Strawberry Brownies (Print)
Gooey and rich chocolate brownies with fresh strawberries, a preserve layer, and chocolate drizzle for a sweet bite that’s hard to resist.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup melted, unsalted butter.
02 -
1 cup white sugar.
03 -
4 eggs (large size).
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla.
05 -
1 cup plain flour.
06 -
½ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened).
07 -
½ teaspoon salt.
08 -
1 cup chocolate chips (dark variety).
09 -
1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced and with the tops removed.
10 -
½ cup strawberry jam or preserves.
11 -
¼ cup melted dark chocolate (to drizzle on top).
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get a square 8x8 pan ready by lining it with parchment paper and leaving a bit of extra paper sticking out for easy brownie removal.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and combine the sugar with the melted butter until smooth. Add one egg at a time, mixing until it's all combined before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla last.
03 -
Mix the cocoa powder, flour, and salt together by sifting them. Gently add this to your wet mixture and carefully fold until it's just mixed. Don't overdo it.
04 -
Gently mix the dark chocolate chips into your brownie batter.
05 -
Spoon half of your batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out. Add the strawberry slices on top, then spread a layer of strawberry jam. Finally, cover it all with the rest of the batter so the strawberries are hidden.
06 -
Pop the pan into the oven and let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Check if it's ready by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
07 -
Leave the brownies in the pan and let them cool on a wire rack. Once they've fully cooled down, drizzle melted chocolate over the top for extra flair.
08 -
When the drizzle hardens, slice your brownies into squares. They're ready to eat—dig in!
