Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan

Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Strawberry Layer:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

For the Garnish:

  • 6-8 whole fresh strawberries
  • White chocolate for drizzling optional
  • Edible gold dust optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brownie Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then mix with sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and fold them in. Add chocolate chips and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

  • In a saucepan, cook sliced strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla over medium heat until thickened. Cool completely.

Make the Ganache:

  • Heat cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour over chocolate chips, then whisk to form a smooth ganache. Add butter and salt, mix well, and let cool slightly.

Assemble:

  • Spread the cooled strawberry mixture over the brownies, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Pour ganache on top and add whole strawberries for garnish. Refrigerate until set.

Notes

  • Substitute Options: For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend. For a dairy-free version, replace butter and cream with plant-based options.
  • Variation: Add a drizzle of white chocolate or edible gold dust for an elegant presentation.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
