  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.33 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
Topping
  • 16 fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter optional for shine

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Small saucepan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk melted butter and sugar together vigorously. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.
  5. Arrange halved strawberries on top of the cooled brownies.
  6. Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
  7. Pour ganache over the strawberries. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set before slicing.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before placing on brownies so the chocolate sticks.
