Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter
  • Semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Salt
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled
  • Additional chocolate (for dipping strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a heat-proof bowl, melt butter and semi-sweet chocolate together (in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler), stirring until smooth.
  3. Whisk in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Transfer the brownies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely in the pan.
  7. Meanwhile, melt extra chocolate for dipping the strawberries. Dip each strawberry halfway into the melted chocolate, then place them on parchment paper to set.
  8. Once strawberries are set, lift the cooled brownie slab using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
  9. Top brownies with the chocolate-covered strawberries, arranging them evenly across the surface. Gently press them into the brownie surface. Let the assembly chill in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes to let the chocolate set and flavors meld.
  10. Slice into squares—each with a strawberry crown—and serve.

Notes

  • White chocolate twist: Dip strawberries in white chocolate for a sweeter contrast.
  • Nutty crunch: Sprinkle chopped toasted almonds or pistachios over the chocolate before it sets.
  • Raspberry drizzle: Once assembled, drizzle raspberry sauce or melted raspberry-flavored white chocolate on top.
  • Mini format: Use mini strawberries and make bite-size brownie squares.
  • Salted caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce over brownies before topping with strawberries for added sweetness and salt balance.
  • For storage, refrigerate assembled brownies with strawberries for up to 2 days to keep the strawberries and chocolate firm. For leftover brownies without strawberries, store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
