Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter in a large microwave safe bowl, then stir in 1 cup sugar until combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
  7. For strawberry layer: dice strawberries and place in a saucepan with 2 tbsp sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened (8-10 minutes). Cool to room temperature.
  8. Spread strawberry mixture over cooled brownies. Refrigerate 20 minutes to set.
  9. For ganache: combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
  10. Pour ganache over strawberry layer, spreading evenly. Refrigerate 30 minutes until firm. Slice and serve.

Notes

For best results, let brownies cool completely before adding strawberry layer to prevent sinking. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a dairy free version, use coconut oil and coconut cream. For gluten free, use a 1 to 1 gluten free flour blend.
