Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in a heatproof bowl until smooth.
- Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter becomes glossy.
- Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are set and the center remains slightly fudgy.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling, then pour it over the chopped milk chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the strawberries.
- Chill the brownies for at least 30 minutes until the topping is firm.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Dry the strawberries completely before adding them to prevent excess moisture.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer and less sweet ganache.
- Add chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for extra texture.
- A thin layer of strawberry jam beneath the berries adds extra sweetness and flavor.
- Store brownies in the refrigerator because of the fresh fruit topping.
